WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY J.H. YOUNG OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 8th OCTOBER 2013

Question

Will the Minister advise whether the Planning Obligation agreement, signed by the States, Harcourt and States of Jersey Development Company in respect of the Esplanade Development, is still binding on the parties?

Answer

It is assumed that the Deputy is referring to the Planning Obligation Agreement (POA) in respect of The Esplanade Quarter dated 30th July 2010 and registered in the Royal Court. The POA is between The Minister for Planning and Environment, The Minister for Transport and Technical Services, The Public of the Island of Jersey and the Waterfront Enterprise Board Limited.

The POA remains a binding legal document should the outline permission granted under Planning Application P/2008/1680 be subject to a detailed permission and work on that permission commenced.
