A well-publicised large-scale proposed housing development in Shalfleet has been put forward to planners after 2 years of deliberation about its feasibility.
Extending the recently constructed Burt Close development, The Warlands Partnership has submitted the housing scheme to the Isle of Wight Council. It could see 70 properties — 43 market value and 27 affordable properties — built on crop-growing land, in a mix of housing types. If planning permission is granted, work could start on the site as soon as early 2023, with the affordable properties built first.
The scheme would use the main spine road through Burt Close to extend the existing housing provision but also create pedestrian and cyclist access to Warlands Lane.
Plans have twice been presented to Shalfleet Parish Council and residents in recent years, with developers using feedback to address concerns.
Planning documents, submitted by agents Nicholas Taylor and Associates Planning, said the houses would be offered for first refusal to residents of the parish, those who have previously lived there or those with a family connection to the village — in line with the council’s legal agreements.
They would then be offered to those living in adjacent parishes followed by any Island resident and only then would they be available to people from the mainland.
The land, which has been in the ownership of the Jacob family for nearly 30 years, was identified for housing by the Isle of Wight Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment in 2018 but has since been removed.
Speaking at a Shalfleet Parish Council meeting in May 2021, Simon Jacobs said they were looking to create a legacy so longstanding Shalfleet families, their children and grandchildren can continue to live, work and bring up their families in the village.
You can view the plans, 22/00989/FUL, on the council’s planning register. Comments can be submitted until 22nd July.

……..
greenfield and land that is used for food – what are these idiots thinking – perhaps we should eat bricks eh.
27 affordable homes out of 70. This is terrible. The number of AFFORDABLE homes should be increased, but of course it won’t.
The IOW Planning Department will be quite happy with these numbers and pass this application.
Excellent, I can buy more houses to let out at three times what a mortgage would be, it’s nice living of the fat of others.
For the cognitive challenged, that is sarcasm.
If it has been removed from the Isle of Wight Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment then it should be refused. This is why I keep on saying GET THE ISLAND PLAN RATIFIED.
And where exactly are the occupants of this development going to work, and which Doctor’s Surgery will they be registered with. When will the idiots in authority grasp the fact that we can’t properly look after the present population.
And what roads will their cars drive on. At this rate we will be able to walk on stationary car rooves all the way from Ventnor to Newport.
There’s a bit too much or this lately.
Building a controversial development, then applying for permission to extend.
I’ve only had a quick look at the layout. But it looks like the current road circling the green space would turn into a large round about for the new estate.
DEAR BORIS, WE ARE NOT BUILDING NO MORE NEW HOUSES.
BECOUSE THE IW IS TO SMALL.
ps try and make us !
Concrete jungle jigsaw…..
Here we come !!!!!!
Leave Greenfield as Greenfield, not rabbit hutches ……
And affordable housing for islanders not holiday homes or 2nd homes !!!!
Ideal place for a large development. School, Health Care, Shops all in place together with a frequent bus service ( hourly ) Get Real
And where are we going to grow thr crops that this land produces. Ban all new builds on the island. Do away with half of the second homes.
900,000 visas granted last year – 6 times the whole population of the Isle of Wight given the right to move to Britain. This same number will be allowed in again this year and then every year going forward – unless someone stops it then the concreting over will continue to accelerate – it has to because the sheer volume of newcomers dictates it
You daft racist. If it wasn’t for migration,our population would be ageing even faster and we’d be paying more taxes to look after all the old people (like Japan) Most migrants come to work and pay taxes and have children, that will go on to work and do the jobs that British people falsely think they are too good for.
I wonder where Mr Jacobs lives?
Can’t see Shalfleet Parish Council objecting, the Chairman is overseeing his own (no affordable) housing estate in Wellow. Funnily enough they didn’t come up with any reasons to object to that either. Hmmmm?
There’s on thing for sure. Duck egg cladding, Trampolines and close lap fencing sales will go up if this gets the go ahead. Dreadful.
Concerned about arrangements for sewerage.
