Rejected petition Reconsider the decision to refuse retrospective planning consent for Bar Levant.
Bar Levant has been refused retrospective planning permission for its outdoor structure which makes the venue weatherproof. Without it the business would be unsustainable. We urge the Minister to reconsider the refusal to protect this valued part of Broad Street.
More details
Bar Levant has become a valued and vibrant part of Broad Street, attracting residents and visitors, boosting the local economy and enhancing St Helier’s lively atmosphere. Its weatherproof outdoor structure is essential for year-round operation. The venue provides a safe social space, creates jobs, supports nearby shops and restaurants and aligns with Jersey’s aims to revitalise the town centre and support hospitality businesses.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that Ministers or the States Assembly is not responsible for.
The Minister has made a decision in accordance with the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law and the law contains no power for the Minister to review or revoke his decision, whether he wants to or not. The Planning and Building (Jersey) Law also provides no legal power for the States Assembly in planning appeals or to direct the Minister in the exercise of his statutory function.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
