WQ.146/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES BY SENATOR S.Y. MÉZEC
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 6th APRIL 2021
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 13th APRIL 2021
Question
“Will the Minister advise what plans Andium Homes have for the refurbishment or redevelopment of Westmount Park and Old St. John ’s Court; and how he and Andium will work with the Parish of St. Helier with regards to the effect of such plans on the St. Helier House site?”
Answer
There are presently no specific plans for the refurbishment or redevelopment of Old St John’s Court and Westmount Park, both of which currently meet the Decent Homes Standard.
Andium Homes has carried out a strategic asset management review of all its existing sites to identify opportunities for redevelopment, which can deliver additional homes, through high quality design led intensification. Such redevelopments make an important contribution to Andium’s target of providing 3,000 new homes by 2030.
In July 2020, the Constable of St Helier announced ‘a new partnership’ between the Parish and Andium to consider options for the redevelopment of both St Helier House and the Westmount Day Nursery, which would deliver a new modern nursery facility, as well as a number of new homes. Some limited conceptual work has been undertaken to determine the overall benefit of a wider development which might also include Westmount Park and/or Old St John’s Court. However, such a proposal is far from certain and there is still much work to be done to determine the parameters, viability and deliverability of such a scheme. Any such proposals will require approval by the Parish Assembly, the Board of Andium Homes and, ultimately, would be subject to a planning application and the public consultation which forms part of that process.
