A 13-bed House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), 9 ‘much-needed’ houses on a field next to a village and a licensed wedding ceremony venue – these were among the most prominent planning proposals decided by County Hall on the Isle of Wight in August.
On 6th August, the Isle of Wight Council approved Tradeamp’s proposed development with 3 three-bedroom homes, a vehicle access and landscaping next to 115 Station Road in Wootton Bridge.
Planners said the scheme would appear ‘appropriate’ to the location and surrounding area after 4 objections including the presence of bats at the site, traffic impacts, overdevelopment and an alleged lack of demand for the housing.
A scheme to convert a former doctor’s surgery at 16 West Street in Newport into a 13-bed HMO was also given the go-ahead.
The council said that subject to conditions, the scheme would complement, preserve and enhance the character of the Newport Conservation Area.
County Hall received six letters of objection from neighbouring residents raising concerns such as there being inadequate parking facilities, excessive noise and anti-social behaviour from residents and guests, and the development’s cramped toilet facilities.
On Friday, 21st August, the local authority accepted Gwyn Palmer’s proposal for the continued use of the stone barn and specified areas of curtilage at Kingston Manor for occasional use as a licensed wedding ceremony venue.
Up to ten licensed wedding ceremonies a year may take place within the grounds of the historic, Grade II* listed building.
The decision came after six third party letters of objection were lodged, raising concerns such as the impact on neighbouring residential amenity with regard to noise nuisance, historic disturbance from past events, and a need for extra parking.
A scheme to convert a former doctor’s surgery at 16 West Street in Newport into a 13-bed HMO was also given the go-ahead.
The council said that subject to conditions, the scheme would complement, preserve and enhance the character of the Newport Conservation Area. Nothing screams conservation more than housing illegals.
So you would rather house drunk druggie benefit claimants
instead.
Typical REFORMER
Yes, I would. ILLEGALS are often drunk, druggie benefit claimants, and with no right to be here. The illegals passed through many safe countries to reach our benefit system. We should look after our own first.
Nothing to do with reform, there are plenty of our own people that desperatley need housing and they should be the first to be offered and not some illegal that just strolls into this country expecting everything.
You talk of a typical reformer where you speak of a typical lefty green muppet.
Is that your blinkered,one brain cell answer to everything EIE?
I saw your name on a loaf of bread today,but on closer inspection,it only said thick cut!
