Question
"With regard to the new Waterfront project announced by SoJDC (the States of Jersey Development Company), will the Minister detail –
- the total expenditure up to the point that the previous plans were refused planning permission;
- the total expenditure incurred developing new plans after the previous plans were refused planning permission; and
- a breakdown of these costs?"
Answer

Regarding design costs, the estimated total development cost for the previous Waterfront plan was £738 million. Typically, professional design costs (covering concept to completion) range from 8% to 10% of the total cost, depending on the project's size and complexity. In contrast, the professional design costs for the previous outline application was £2,316,987, equating to just 0.27% of the total development cost.
With respect to question b)
Professional design costs - £42,974 Site and ground investigations - £nil Planning fee - £nil
Public engagement - £16,173
Total - £59,147
The material and design costs for the revised outline plans are significantly lower than the original, owing to the reuse and adaptation of materials from the initial application.
