3x 3-bed detached homes are wanted for a site at Noke Common, between Cowes and Newport.
The plans have been lodged with the Isle of Wight Council by Mr D. Meek.
The brownfield site along the Common is currently a pony paddock with a stable block, concrete courtyard and with various areas of gravel and grassland.
Planning documents submitted in favour of the application, by planning agents Hollis Design, say the housing proposed will continue the pattern of development in the area.
The documents also say no evidence was found of badgers, reptiles or amphibians, bats or nesting birds at the development site.
You can view the plans, 22/01471/FUL, on the council’s planning register.
1 Noke Common resident has objected to the scheme saying the land is not suitable for housing due to problems with water flow.
Island Roads has recommended the scheme for conditional approval, under the proviso no house should be occupied until space has been laid out for 6 cars to be parked on the site.
Much better as a stable yard with greenery!!!!
3 here 6 there concrete jungle jigsaw!!!!!!
More building !!!! More cars, more people wanting to register for Doctors you won’t be able to see, arh well !!!!!!!!
That long stretch of Noke Common doesn’t seem to have changed much since I was a kid some 65 years ago and used to walk the half-mile length of it to get to my grandmother’s and aunts’ home at the far end. So it goes!
The documents also say no evidence was found of badgers, reptiles or amphibians, bats or nesting birds at the development site.
However, all the insects that are food for a lot of passing birds don’t count.
the fact that the trees will remove CO2 from the atmosphere and put oxygen in so that we have cleaner air also doesn’t matter then.
clearly D Meek needs a lesson in “too many people, not enough infrastructure, such as doctors/hospital/dentists etc”
these developers are clearly quite happy to destroy natural areas with concrete and are only interested in lining there own pockets at the expense of the environment
The island doesn’t need more housing to be built…give it another 10 years Newport and Cowes will merge with probably still only the A3020 handling all the traffic, which can’t even cope with the amount of traffic now.
Be interesting to see in a few years time if anyone can afford to buy a home, not alone the utility bills, food, petrol, diesel or electric…
Wakey wakey islanders…..
