WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 15th JULY 2013

Question

With regard to Housing's re-development of Le Squez estate, could the Minister confirm, given Housing's ongoing alterations to the original plan, that each variation has and will be the subject of an application to Planning, together with appropriate advertisement so that interested parties are aware and have a chance to make input and, if not, why not?

Answer

I  am  happy  to  reassure  the  Assembly  that  the  Housing  Department  need  to  apply  to  my department for permission to carry out works and alterations to the Le Squez housing estate as set out in the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002. Indeed, my officers are already engaged in discussion  with  the  Housing  Department's  architects  on  a  redesign  of  the  next  phase  of development. All planning applications received are advertised and interested parties are able to comment within 21 days and these comments are considered before a planning decision is made.

Major schemes with planning permission may incur minor and inconsequential alternations from time to time and my department deal with this for the Le Squez housing estate in the same manner as they would on any other site.

In addition, under the Planning and Building (General Development)(Jersey) Order 2011, there are a number of works and alternations that can be made without requiring planning permission providing the relevant conditions are met.

To assist further, I have set out below the recent planning applications relating to the Le Squez housing estate:
