| 1. Joint Meeting between the Environment Scrutiny Panel and the Housing Transformation Sub-Panel of the Health, Social Security and Housing Scrutiny Panel Members of the Environment Scrutiny Panel and Housing Transformation Sub-Panel met to discuss problems with the delivery of social and affordable housing under policies H1 and H3 of the Island Plan. The urgent need for review of these policies was agreed, with the greatest demand currently being for social-rented homes. Members discussed a possible review of the shortfall in social housing, focusing on States-owned sites. A proposition could follow requesting the Minister for Planning and Environment to develop a new policy to address the shortfall. The Ministers for Treasury and Resources, Housing and Planning and Environment together with stakeholders such as the Jersey Estate Agents Association were expected to be key witnesses. It was provisionally agreed that the Health, Social Security and Housing Panel would lead on the review with members from other Panels either being co-opted or joining a Sub-Panel. It was decided that work would not commence until after the Minister for Planning and Environment presented proposals to address issues of supply to the Council of Ministers on 27th February 2013. | MO/ FS |
