WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY S.Y. MEZEC OF ST. HELIER SOUTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 2022

Question

“Will the Minister, as shareholder representative, outline what instructions, if any, have been given to the States of Jersey Development Company in relation to incorporating a greater proportion of affordable housing in the planned development on South Hill, since planning approval was denied for the first application?”

Answer

SoJDC continues to liaise with Treasury and Housing Policy officers as they work on their plans to maximise the affordable housing provision beyond the minimum stipulated by the previous Council of Ministers of 15%, whilst preserving the overall viability of the development together with the delivery of public realm and infrastructure improvements on the site. However no specific instruction has yet been given.
