5.8 Deputy J. Renouf of the Minister for the Environment regarding amendment of legislation to allow short-term holiday lets (OQ.48/2024)
Will the Minister state whether he intends to give any consideration to amending the Planning and Building (General Development) (Jersey) Order 2008 to allow short-term holiday lets to operate for a set period in each year without the need for planning permission?
Deputy S.G. Luce of Grouville and St. Martin (The Minister for the Environment):
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that my team are building on the work that he initiated and are currently progressing an amendment to the General Development Order, which will allow a dwelling to be used for short-term holiday lets without the need for planning permission for a period of up to 12 weeks in any calendar year. The amendment should be in place in the next couple of weeks, and will be accompanied by supplementary planning guidance to offer further clarity for the industry, and for those who may wish to consider letting their home on a short-term basis.
5.8.1 Connétable D. Johnson of St. Mary :
Could the Minister clarify whether that will affect the need to apply to tourism for such a licence in the event that the number of people using that residential accommodation exceeds 6 persons?
Deputy S.G. Luce :
I have to say to the Constable that I am not sighted on the answer to that question, but I will certainly find out and get back to him.
