WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY J.A. MARTIN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 30th JUNE 2014
Question
Can the Minister set out the Construction and Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) required for large builds in constrained sites in respect of the new Police Headquarters at the Green Street car park site?
Would the Minister advise whether there will be any access through Green Street Cemetery to the new Police Headquarters?
Would he confirm the commencement date for the works on site? Answer
In compliance with Condition 24 of the Planning permit, the tender documents recently issued to local contractors require a Construction Environmental Management Plan to be submitted and approved by the Minister for Planning and Environment prior to commencement of the Police Headquarters development. This plan must be implemented in full and any variations agreed in writing by the Minister for Planning and Environment prior to such work commencing.
This plan will include a programme of mitigation measures to minimise any adverse effects of the scheme based on guidance issued by States of Jersey Environmental Health. This includes, but is not limited to:
- A demonstration of compliance with best practice in relation to noise from demolition and construction activities, including specified hours of working.
- Control of vibration from demolition/construction activities.
- A demonstration of best practice in the control of dust and emissions from construction and demolition.
- Communications processes for neighbours and details of complaints procedure, including office hours and out of hours contact numbers;
- Details of any proposed crushing/sorting of waste material on site.
In addition, other specific Planning permit conditions include complying with Codes of Practice relating to Noise, vibration and dust (Condition 6) and providing a scheme for the parking of vehicles of site personnel, operatives and visitors; the loading and unloading of plant and materials, and the storage of plant and materials used for the development (Condition 8).
In seeking to minimise disruption further, other requirements have been included within the tender documentation such as Considerate Constructors' registration, specified working hours, parking, approval of site set up and waste management. These are technical requirements which will be enforced by the Design Team on Property Holdings' behalf with some aspects requiring approval by Planning and Environment or Transport and Technical Services.
The contractor will not be able to access the site through Green Street cemetery, which will be hoarded off from the site during construction. Whilst there will be no direct access from the cemetery to the Police HQ when the scheme has been completed, the existing pedestrian access route from the cemetery to La Route du Fort will be maintained.
It is currently anticipated that tenders will have been received and evaluated before the end of August and that preliminary works on site will begin in the early part of September.
