WQ.215/2018
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2018
Question
Will the Minister advise whether the States of Jersey Development Company, Andium Homes or any other developer are currently in negotiations in respect of the future development of the St. Saviour 's Hospital and Warwick Farm sites; and if so, will he confirm that no final decision arising from such negotiations will be made until the outcome of all reviews into the new hospital site are completed?
Answer
Warwick Farm
This site is leased to IHP limited for a nine year period from 1st January 2018. There are no negotiations with any developer in train in relation to this site.
St Saviours Hospital
The site at St Saviours Hospital is in two parcels.
The land to the north of La Route de la Hougue Bie comprises Clinque Pinel and Rosewood House. These are operational buildings that will remain as such for the foreseeable future, pending the provision of any alternative accommodation proposed as a result of the Mental Health review.
The land to the South comprising Queens House and associated buildings, together with residential properties at Marina Court, Marina Cottages and Valley Close, has the potential for redevelopment. However, services provided at Orchard House will need to be relocated to the north side of the road, and keyworker accommodation reprovided, before the site is available for redevelopment. This is likely to take up to two years.
The Regeneration Steering Group (RSG) has agreed for the site to be re-developed by the States of Jersey Development Company (JDC) and, once a Development Brief has been issued by the Environment Minister, JDC will to produce a Development Plan for the RSG to consider. There will also be engagement with stakeholders including St Saviour Deputies prior to decisions being made. No negotiations are in train with JDC, Andium Homes or any other developer at this stage.
The States Assembly has approved the current hospital site as the preferred location for the new hospital. The report of the Planning Inspector is expected in early November.
The Chief Minister's Policy Review Panel is scheduled to report by the end of October.
As no negotiations are in place for either site, and decisions on the current proposals are expected imminently, the confirmation sought by the Deputy is unnecessary.
