The proposed site of the new Headquarters is a controversial one and the Panel is aware that there have been a number of concerns relating to planning issues such as the impact of the building on its immediate environment at the eastern Gateway to St Helier as well as the traffic implications and the loss of parking at Green Street. These issues will be addressed in the States debate on Deputy Martin’s proposition P.92/2012 on 20th November
The Panel's review, on the other hand, is focusing on the question of ‘future proofing’, that is, whether the planned building meets the current and future requirements of the Police over the next half century.
