WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2015

Question

"In the event of the successful relocation of Les Quennevais School, what does the Minister consider to be the government's preferred usage of the existing site, and can he give an assurance that views of local residents and representatives will be given sufficient weight and consideration before any future decisions are made?"

Answer

If the timetable for the provision of a new Les Quennevais school is maintained the site of the current school will not be available for redevelopment until 2020 at the earliest, so any firm decision on future use is premature.

The current school site is located in a residential area and any future use will need to be compatible with its surroundings. In developing proposals for the site, full recognition will be taken of the need to address the delivery of States Strategic policies as well as the local community perspective. Any firm proposals for the development of the site will be the subject of an application for planning permission which includes a period of statutory public consultation and local residents and other interested parties will have an opportunity to engage fully in that process in due course.
