WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF GROUVILLE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th FEBRUARY 2011
Question
What plans, if any, does the Minister have for the development/disposal of the Jersey College for Girls site?
Answer
The Minister intends to secure the disposal of the former Jersey College for Girls site for the most advantageous terms, with a development project which acts as a catalyst for the regeneration of the surrounding residential areas in the North of St Helier.
Centre Point has already relocated to the former La Pouquelaye School, which it shares with the local youth and community services. This move has effectively doubled the development potential of the JCG site
Jersey Property Holdings (JPH) has appointed professional advisers who have considered the existing planning consent, the possible impact of existing market conditions, the methods of disposal and potential returns.
The Planning and Environment Minister has been consulted and agrees with JPH that the scheme for JCG must be of the highest architectural standard to encourage the regeneration of this historically important area of St Helier.
Work continues on a detailed planning application which is due after Easter this year. Subject to approval, it is hoped the site can be sold by the end of 2011.
