WQ.86/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th FEBRUARY 2019
Question
Will the Minister provide a list of all States of Jersey-owned properties which are currently either partially used or empty, as well as the future projects for which such properties are earmarked (e.g. sports facilities, social housing, capital projects)?
Answer
There are presently 28 buildings, or in four cases parts of buildings, across 18 sites that are empty or only partially used. There are a variety of reasons for the properties being unoccupied, which include:
- 9 sites vacated prior to demolition or redevelopment;
- 2 sites vacated for refurbishment or maintenance works;
- 7 sites with void properties awaiting re-use by States departments or re-letting to a third party. Four of the void properties are short-term voids with new tenants already lined up.
Half of the vacant sites are pending redevelopment either in relation to the Future Hospital project, the Office Strategy project or potentially as social housing sites.
The property details, including addresses, are not made public, because it is deemed that its disclosure could lead to the properties in question being targeted by criminals and becoming the targets of vandalism. I would be happy to meet with the Deputy to provide him with this information.
