WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY L.M.C. DOUBLET OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 26th APRIL 2016

Question

Can the Minister provide a plan of the Police Station site at Rouge Bouillon, including Summerland, detailing –

any listed buildings;
whether neighbouring properties are residential/businesses/States-owned, how many storeys high they are and if there are any outstanding planning permissions;
the current intended future use for each section of the site, including the categories below and any others being considered –

car parking
private housing
social housing;
States departmental use;
open space?

Can the Minister also provide a timeline indicating what decisions need to be made about the site and when they will be made by?

Answer

The Police currently occupy two sites on Rouge Bouillon. They are one of the occupiers of the site known as the Summerland Site on the western side of the road, occupying the former Summerland knitwear factory and Broadcasting House. In addition, the Police Station and other ancillary functions are located, along with the Fire Service, in buildings on the eastern side of the road.

The location plans below identify these site and also other Public landholdings in the area – the plans have the following colour coding:

Police and Fire Station Site:

Summerland Site:

In response to the Deputy 's specific questions:

The following information is recorded on listed buildings on these sites: The Summerland site holds no heritage interest.

The former Town Arsenal, at the Fire/Police Station site at Rouge Bouillon is a potential Listed building. Attached as Appendix A is the proposed listing schedule, including a plan of the extent of heritage interest, for information.

The Police Headquarters on this site is no longer listed, it being removed from the list in 2007 following a review where it was found not be of sufficient architectural merit warrant the maintenance of any heritage designation.

Buildings owned by the Public are shown on the above plans. Neither the Department for Infrastructure nor the Department for Environment hold a dataset as to the use class split between business and residential uses nor is information on heights of surrounding buildings on adjacent plots in a readily available format.

Attached as Appendices B and C are summaries of planning and building applications in relation to:

Summerland site (Summerland/Thorp House/Broadcasting House, Rouge Bouillon, St Helier)
Police/Fire Services Site

The Summerland (and Ambulance HQ) site(s) are already zoned in the Revised 2011 Island Plan to support the provision of Category A affordable homes: planning permission for this purpose has been sought and, upon resolution of a Planning Obligation Agreement, the planning applications referred to above have been approved.

The current Police/Fire Station site at Rouge Bouillon has not been zoned for any other purpose in the Revised 2011 Island Plan.

In the event of any of the current uses relocating from this site and there being the potential prospect of land being surplus to the requirements of the Community and Constitutional Affairs Department, consideration will need to be given to its potential to contribute to the need for affordable homes, in accord with Policy H1 of the Island Plan and pre-amble, paras 6.97-6.99 – link below:

http://consult.gov.je/portal/adopted/pd/ip2011?pointId=1405696217906#section- 1405696217906

The Police are scheduled to take occupation of their new facility at the end of the first quarter 2017 and the other existing Summerland site occupants are on terms that can realise vacant possession of that site in this timescale.

The expectation is that the Summerland site will be developed for affordable housing in accordance with the provisions of the Island Plan. Property Holdings is in discussions with Andium Homes to seek agreement on the transfer of the site in order that Andium can progress design development in advance of the site being vacated.

As yet no decision has been made with regard to the terms of a transfer, but it is expected that the relevant information will be in place for a decision to be considered by the Minister prior to the summer recess.

Co-location of Fire and Ambulance Services on the current Police/Fire site has been proposed, which would free up the current Ambulance site for residential development in accordance with the Island Plan. Capital funding for co-location has been deferred beyond the term of the current Medium Term Financial Plan, however, JPH will undertake a feasibility study with the respective services later in 2016 to determine whether co-location on this site remains the best option.
