Recommendations Executive Summary Section 2 – Prezoning rezoning of the Site The process by which the Bel Royal site (the Site) and other Category A sites were rezoned was less than efficient. It appears that there was a stark mismatch between the processes selected for development of the Island Plan 2002 and the level of funding allocated to facilitate those processes. The degree of consideration given to the selection of sites for rezoning and to the full implications of rezoning those sites was not sufficient. In particular, public consultation on the Category A sites identified in the Island Plan 2002 was less than effective. In relation to the Site, it is clear that prior to July 2002 the parishioners of St. Lawrence were generally aware of the possibility that the Site was being considered for rezoning; however, they appeared to be unaware either of the scale of the potential development or of the impact that the rezoning decision would have. A majority of parishioners thought that the whole Site would be considered unsuitable for housing due to flooding issues, which had been evidenced over many years. They clearly did not anticipate that the States would decide to rezone the land; yet once the land had been rezoned, as night follows day, planning permission was going to be given for development of the Site. There was some scope for improvement in the content, and the circulation, of the Feasibility Study (FS) for the Site. Comments from consultees were arbitrarily drawn, with no specific criteria used in the selection of the scale. Environmental Health were not provided with a copy of the FS and were therefore not given an opportunity to reflect on their earlier ‘no comment’ response, which was clearly flawed. The former issue did not seriously affect the content and purpose of the FS; however, the latter omission was unfortunate in that it compounded the initial (and fundamental) error by Environmental Health, who failed to advise Planning and Environment of the potential noise issue arising from the nearby Jersey Steel premises. The then Planning and Environment Committee did not implement the parish impact assessments recommended by Professor McAuslan. It is the view of the Committee that this recommendation should have been implemented. Although the Committee has found evidence that the underlying rationale for conducting such assessments may have been at least partially taken on board, and that several sites from the then draft Island Plan were withdrawn as a result, it also found evidence that this recommendation was not fully implemented due to resource and time constraints. The latter is regrettable. The relevance of the indicative yield numbers for each Category A site in the Island Plan 2002 was not raised during the States debate. This subsequently resulted in a number of States Members feeling that they had been misled or ‘bamboozled’. Relevant States Members may wish to reflect on why their respective contributions to that debate failed to flush out such a key issue before the decision to rezone was made. The Committee is pleased to note the view of the current Minister for Planning and Environment that the rezoning process can be improved. It endorses his proposals in this regard; however, it was most surprised to learn that in late May 2008 the Minister had elected to lodge ‘au Greffe’ a proposition to rezone approximately 58.5 additional vergées of land for lifelong dwellings (for people over 55 years of age) and for first-time buyers, without having first implemented the envisaged improvement in procedures (Projet No. P.75/2008 refers). This proposition was lodged some 6 years after the debate on the Island Plan 2002. The fact that the Planning and Environment Department (the Planning Department) and its political leaders had not been able in that time to reflect on the process adopted prior to 2002, and to improve upon it significantly prior to the lodging of that proposition in 2008, again lends weight to the Committee’s view that the Planning Department is fundamentally under- resourced. If the States wants an effective planning process which runs smoothly and efficiently, then it should be prepared to pay for it at the

Kemble Witnesses: Deputy J.A.N. Le Fondré of St. Lawrence Connétable G.W. Fisher of St. Lawrence Clerk to Committee: Mrs. J. Bell-Cook Mrs. C.E. Canavan (Chairman): Do you feel in a position this afternoon to raise points from this morning as well as answer the questions? Deputy J.A.N. Le Fondré of St. Lawrence: Yes, I think one or 2. Mrs. C.E. Canavan: Shall we deal with the questions first then? Connétable G.W. Fisher of St. Lawrence: John has made copious notes, I think. Mrs. C.E. Canavan: You have had the comment from the statement from Axis Mason about: “The existing properties in the vicinity are currently at risk from flooding and no proposals or funding for mitigation currently exist to enable the States to address the problem. The various scenarios identified by respondents regarding climate change and global warming will impact on existing properties around the site no matter what. The view that less or even no development is an improvement on this is simply burying one’s head in the sand. The simple fact remains that appropriate development of the site is currently the only route for funding construction of the service water pumping station and on site attenuation measures necessary to improve even the existing flood risk situation”. [Any] comments? The Connétable of St. Lawrence: Generally I do not think we have got any particular objection to that statement other than, of course, it is implying that in order to alleviate the situation of flooding in the area, which is a major concern for a lot of the residents who live in that area, then we have got to have a housing estate nearby so that we can afford to build a pumping station.

  • The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey's
    The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special.

    JOURNAL October 40 2011 The Ulster Tower, Thiepval Please note that Copyright for any articles contained in this Journal rests with the Authors as shown. Please contact them directly if you wish to use their material. 1 Hello All I do not suppose that the global metal market features greatly in Great War journals and magazines, but we know, sometimes to our cost, that the demand from the emerging economies such as Brazil, China and India are forcing prices up, and not only for newly manufactured metals, but also reclaimed metal. There is a downside in that the higher prices are now encouraging some in the criminal fraternity to steal material from a number of sources. To me the most dangerous act of all is to remove railway trackside cabling, surely a fatal accident waiting to happen, while the cost of repair can only be passed onto the hard-pressed passenger in ticket price rises, to go along with the delays experienced. Similarly, the removal of lead from the roofs of buildings can only result in internal damage, the costs, as in the case of the Morecambe Winter Gardens recently, running into many thousands of pounds. Sadly, war memorials have not been totally immune from this form of criminality and, there are not only the costs associated as in the case of lead stolen from church roofs. These thefts frequently cause anguish to the relatives of those who are commemorated on the vanished plaques. But, these war memorial thefts pale into insignificance by comparison with the appalling recent news that Danish and Dutch marine salvage companies have been bringing up components from British submarine and ships sunk during the Great War, with a total loss of some 1,500 officers and men.

Tel: (01534) 441600 Email [email protected] Or visit www.gov.je/Environment Publication date: December 2011 2 Executive Summary Foreword from the Minister The Chief Minister, in his recent policy statement, asserted that: “The Environment Department must become the environmental conscience of our government and our community”. As Minister responsible for the Department of the Environment, I am very willing to take up this role and am pleased to publish this comprehensive report on the progress made across a wide range of environmental areas over the last six years. Since 2005, major strategies have been debated and agreed in respect of waste management, water resources legislation, transport, the rural economy and a new Island Plan and the Eco-Active campaign and brand is now well recognised. Whilst good progress has been made, there is still much to do, and each section of this report includes details of policies that need to be developed and extended over the next five year period. Environmental policies centre on the wise use of resources. Jersey has made an international commitment to the Kyoto protocol in respect of reducing “greenhouse gas” emissions. Achieving the target set by Kyoto will require substantial changes to the way that we use energy into the future and the policies developed within the forthcoming Energy Strategy must address this fundamental issue.

Jersey, March, 1816. PREFACE. At a time when regions, distantly situated, and un- connected with Great Britain, either by political or commercial affinity, are thought worthy of appearing in print, it seems natural to hope, that an island, in the vicinity of England, so long and so peculiarly at- tached to it as Jersey, will be considered as entitled to still greater attention.

  • “What We Did on Our Holidays”
    “What we did on our Holidays” Channel Islands, July 2006. This will hopefully be a shorter-than-usual report as the beer scene we encountered on Jersey wasn’t, let me put it, thriving. With one brewery on the whole Island and only one more on neighbouring Guernsey it’s a bit of a backwater for lovers of decent beer; the Jersey brewery, or Ann Street as it likes to be known, has bought up and closed the Tipsy Toad brewpubs as well as the Guernsey brewery within the last ten years, although Randalls Vautier, the other major brewer on the island, did the job for them in 1992 when they gave up brewing to concentrate on running their pubs. The trip was therefore booked as a voyage of exploration, as both of us had wanted to visit the islands for quite some time but never really got around to doing anything about it until it became obvious just how many airlines flew there and from where; Coventry is probably our closest airport to Worcester and, when we found Thomsonfly doing cheap offers to the islands we jumped at the chance and booked it, even given we’d be travelling in July, a month we normally religiously avoid due to the amount of other normals travelling, but we figured that at least it wouldn’t be too hot there… So started a month of research into the relatively unknown beer culture of the islands which, predictably, didn’t turn up a fat lot of interest; basically, there were around ten pubs which did any decent real ales, a few more which only had Jersey brewery beers, and it was looking extremely unlikely that we’d get any winners whatsoever although, as I hadn’t had a Jersey brewery beer since 1994 and they now produced Tipsy Toad beers, there was a chance of a scoop somewhere.
