More houses could be built in Ryde as an application goes back before planners — a year after it was refused.
An area of empty land, which neighbours Westridge Garage, St Johns Graveyard and the proposed site for Pennyfeathers, is earmarked for development.
It has been proposed to fill the gap between developments on a bit of grassland off Great Preston Road, submitted to the Isle of Wight Council by Roach Pittis Solicitors.
A previous application was refused by the council’s planning authority in March last year after it failed to provide a balanced mix of housing to meet local need.
The development would have appeared cramped development and overly regimented, planners said, failing to reflect the more varied, spacious character of housing in the area.
According to the planning agents, Nova Architectural, the application has been revised to address all the reasons for refusal: changing the housing types, their appearance, the site layout and access.
The property mix will now feature 3x 3-bed detached houses, 2x 2-bed semi-detached houses and a 2-bed bungalow.
You can view the application, 23/00427/FUL, on the council’s website. Comments can be made until 18th April.
Here we go – more urban sprawl.
Yep, and another toxic area of smack rat low life spongers and swillers all on free handouts and paying nothing in.
Whilst there are brownfield sites nearby, no new homes should be approved on greenfield sites! Plus the Island cannot cope, we have a hospital that is full, not enough GPs and getting a NHS dentist is near impossible and the roads cannot cope as things are now!
We neod to re wild Ryde! Destroy all the houses, and then will my house be worth even more!
Whole area ruined forever now.
Soon benefit breeding boxes will be filled to capacity and once ‘that’ generation need homes then which area will Captiva and co pick upon next to ‘destroy’ forever?
They have done far more damage than the Germans did in the entire war, and despite glossy ‘artists impressions’, the truth is more tax credit funded ‘in poverty’ chavs, living a trashy life filling the Island with their clones who will grow up even worse.
SEE it how it is, not how they tell you it will be, for the two will be markedly different.
More unnessecary properties being built.
“Not needed”
Are St Mary’s expanding to cope with the extra demand, probably NOT!
IW Council are just rubbing their hands together for more council tax monies.

We need more cars and vans to park on the pavements to slow the ever increasing traffic in Great Preston road, before a child is hurt or killed.
Thankfully we have some ahead of the game and already doing their bit to ease the speeding vehicles and give breaks into the otherwise continuous flow of traffic to kindly allow people a gap to cross the road so necessary with parking only on one side of the council homes there.
Speed Humps/ Traffic calming is used to slow down traffic.
Not a couple of stupid idiots who park on pavements illegally
causing a disruption to all Islanders and making persons lives dangerous when
walking along public highways.
Unfortunately some persons have no Brains, hence parking on Pavements.
If inconsiderate motorists want to park on pavements let them do so at their own risk.
Should an accident take place they will be responsible for parking
erratically and will be liable for causing an accident.
Personally if I were parking a vehicle I would park correctly in the first place,
why be awkward.
God gave people legs.
Keith we have the same problem in Shanklin
Vehicles park on pavements along Regent Street and no one cares.
You would not believe a Police Station is situated along the Road and nothing
gets done about it.
The Council don’t seem to care either.
Can’t reel sorry for Shanklin, they only allow us to park on one side of the road! One side! While the pavement is massive! We need that space to store our cars!
This was productive farm land . the island and Britain need to be more self sufficient . very sad to see this still going ahead . it will end up in a poor looking state like the ” new pan ” just a rat run filled with cheap looking homes not much bigger then a dolls house ! . should this go ahead there should be a doctors Surgery built ( like that was promised at pan ) and should be built at the landowners cost , and sadly the building work will go ahead and end up going to a mainland company which will employ local Labour and pay them peanuts just like pan and the sites in east cowes
Great Britain wot a joke there is nothing great anymore you work hard and they take it away from you wots the point just to keep other people that can’t be bothered to do anything
Productive farm land?? Haven’t seen anything happen in that field for 25 years
Field ?? it was a dairy farm so it obviously would of been or is very fertile and productive land to be able to grow the quality and quantity of grass and crop suitable to keep a milking herd
So true
Another waste of money project.
Infrastructure should be put in place1st.
More hospital beds and more GP’s not more Homes
I hope none of the people that buy these houses need a Doctor or a dentist.
Maybe it’s time our local newspapers started challenging the Isle of Wight Council on this rush into building more and more houses on the Island?
We, the people who pay the Council’s wages, don’t get a say, but our local newspapers do have that opportunity.
Perhaps it’s time for the Echo and CP to stand up for the people who live here, their readers, and start challenging the Council and not simply copy and pasting PR output from the Council.
Just like Government no longer represents us,
Councils are no different.
We don’t get a say in anything.
Council Taxes etc keep increasing every year and we do not get a say on where
our money goes.
I personally I have had enough of the system and will no longer be voting again
they are all as bad as each other.
Full of false promises
Stand for the council
For gods sake start building towards Freshwater.
This side if FULL !
You just cant keep adding to the traffic this side.
And god knows Freshwater needs upgrading, the high street looks like its out of the 1930.
There is nothing there.
Ew no, keep your poverty houses on the poverty side. West wight doesn’t want poor people buying houses here.
This is for 6 houses on a piece of scrub land I cannot see the problem considering the planners have approved 904 houses on a working farm next door. And have approved planning for a working farm at Bullen.get a life it can only improve the area.
But Ian you don’t understand. The more houses they build, the less ours are worth. The more they are worth, the less poor people can buy. And they’ll have to keep renting of us. Building more houses is a loss/loss for everyone who already owns. People who don’t own by now are scum benefit scroungers, I shouldn’t even call them people.
These bloody builders are relentless in their applications to the Planning Department. The island doesn’t need or want any more fucking houses. This beautiful island will be ruined if they give permission.
Trouble is – the Building Inspectors.
Ref. my posting: My apologies – this should read: “Planning Inspectors”. Sorry ‘n’ all that.
Now they want to build 130 more houses in Bembridge & Captiva somehow make out they are doing us a favour as a mainlander property developer would build 210 !!!! The only favour they are doing is to their greedy selves.
Spot on Mark. You clearly know these beings. Likely be after your land next.
This craziness will not stop until the whole island is under concrete, our hospital cannot cope, we have no NHS dentists, our surgeries are short of doctors the electric grid is unable to cope and the sewage works are dumping raw sewage into the sea,our roads are unable to cope as well as being unfit for purpose.
Our farm land is being destroyed at a time when we desperately need more food locally and nationally grown to safeguard our food supplies.
