3.4 Deputy A.F. Curtis of St. Clement of the Minister for Infrastructure regarding pre- application advice for the redevelopment of Fort Regent (OQ.136/2025):
In relation to the proposed redevelopment of Fort Regent, will the Minister advise whether his department or the States of Jersey Development Company, as a delivery partner, will seek pre- application advice for any scheme; and if not, why not?
Connétable A.N. Jehan of St. John : (The Minister for Infrastructure):
The States of Jersey Development Company are already in discussions with officers in the Planning Department, including those that deal with heritage, and will continue to do so throughout the planning process. It is proposed that if Fort Regent is redeveloped this will be split into several applications, the first of which will be repairs required to the roof and façades, and pre-application advice has been requested and received for this first application. It is intended to request further pre-application advice once the results of the recent public consultation survey are known and the intended uses to the various areas are established.
3.4.1 Deputy A.F. Curtis :
Could the Minister explain a little further how he and the States of Jersey Development Company will use the feedback from pre-application advice? Will he use that to, in essence, try to assure the maximum success of delivery of a project by making sure it is compliant and does not try to stretch policies too far?
The Connétable of St. John :
The whole reason that we are asking for pre-application advice is so that we can follow the advice that we are given and not do something totally different. We are looking to try and be as efficient as we can and therefore working with partners.
Deputy T.A. Coles of St. Helier South:
Can I raise the défaut on Deputy Porée first, please? The Bailiff :
Yes, the défaut is raised on Deputy Porée .
