WQ.40/2024

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVRIONMENT BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 19TH FEBRUARY 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 26TH FEBRUARY 2024

Question

“Regarding the Bridging Island Plan, will the Minister provide a schedule for the delivery of –

  1. Strategic Proposal 4 – A west of Island planning framework and masterplans, including by what date he expects to complete the planning framework; and
  2. the "more focused masterplans" referenced to in Strategic Plan 4, including for Les Quennevais and Jersey Airport?”

Answer

The Bridging Island Plan contains at least 40 proposals requiring the preparation of plans and supplementary planning guidance, including the planning framework and masterplans identified in strategic proposal 4.

Some of this work is required to inform the use and application of policy within the plan itself, particularly where policies are new; and other work is required to help prepare the evidence base for the next island plan review.

The progression of all of this work is subject to the availability of resources.

I am developing a prioritised programme of delivery that both responds to the proposals within the Bridging Island Plan; and which aligns with and supports the realisation of the government’s priorities, particularly the creation of new homes.

On this basis, therefore, I am unable to provide a definitive schedule for the delivery of (a) a west of island planning framework; or (b) specific areas-based masterplans, as might be required for Les Quennevais or Jersey Airport; and would not expect to do so until at least 2025.
