A PUBLIC inquiry is to be held into the recently lodged plans to transform the Waterfront.
The plans, put forward by the Jersey Development Company, include:
-
1,001 homes
-
Café’s, bars and restaurants
-
A car park
-
An arthouse cinema
-
Two swimming pools plus other leisure facilities
The public inquiry, which will be held after the inquiry into the future-hospital plans and following the elections, will consider the application against the Bridging Island Plan, which will set planning policy for Jersey.
Environment Minister John Young, who has called the inquiry, said: ‘The terms of reference for the inquiry will be issued at a later date, but will certainly be wide to ensure all the issues likely to be raised by the community can be considered.
‘An independent inspector will be appointed nearer the time to oversee the process and provide the next Environment Minister with a detailed review of the relevant issues before any decision on the application can be made.’
