People ought to be aware of the Esplanade inquiry

From Chick Anthony.
LAST Thursday a pre-inquiry meeting was held to explain to those who had expressed an interest in contributing to the main public inquiry into the Planning applications for the major development of the Esplanade Quarter of the Waterfront.
There were numerous representatives of the developers, WEB, Planning and Environment Department, Fire Service, Chamber of Commerce, etc, but the independent inspector, Chris Shepley, expressed his surprise that there were remarkably few members of the general public. I, too, was surprised at the low attendance, especially when so much criticism has been expressed of previous proposals.
A possible reason may be that people were not aware of the imminent inquiry. It has been advertised but, speaking to people who I would expect to keep their eyes open, many have not seen the notice.
The inquiry will be taking place daily at St Paul’s Centre from 27 to 31 October, but anyone wishing to comment should contact the programme officer, Helen Wilson, 32 Pennyford Close, Brockhill, Redditch B97 6TW, e-mail progofficer@aol.com, tel 01527 65741, mobile 07979 443035, as soon as possible, at the latest by 26 September. Further information is on the States website gov.je/esplanade.
This will be the first public inquiry held in Jersey and it concerns the largest and most expensive development that will take place in the Island in most people’s lifetime. Independent inspectors have been appointed by Planning and Environment Minister, as is required where ‘development might have a significant effect on the interests of the whole, or a significant part of, the population of the Island’.
It will be regrettable if it appears that people are not interested in a major advance in the process of consultation.
