A brownfield site in the middle of Newport Town Centre could be redeveloped with 2 new semi-detached houses.
Mr P. Dempsey has submitted revised plans to County Hall for the construction of 2x 2-bedroom properties at 11-13 Scarrots Lane, Newport.
The homes are classed as ‘market housing’, according to his application form.
A statement prepared by the Andrew White Planning Consultancy says:
“The site is a vacant site located on the south side of Scarrots Lane which is a narrow lane leading from St James Square to the east of the site and New Street to the west.
“The character of the location is a mixture of commercial and residential uses, with warehouses, small-scale workshops, shopfronts, flats and terraced housing.
“The proposed 2 units will make a contribution to the overall housing delivery on the Isle of Wight, providing the type of housing development identified as needed.”
It states that the proposed design complements and enhances the character and surroundings of the designated conservation area.
County Hall’s public consultation on proposal 25/01007/FUL will finish on 15th August, with a decision scheduled for 10th September.
At last a sensible place to put in two dwellings,but common sense does not favour The Council or planning!.
