Planning Consent Applied for 24 dwelling Housing Estate in Warlands Lane Shalfleet
Planning consent has been applied for, this week, for a 24 dwelling housing estate in Warlands Lane Shalfleet. Full details of the application can be found on the IWC website at http://www.iwight.com/planning/AppDetails3.aspx?frmId=28135 The application reference is TCP/31860, P/00507/14
I have posted an aerial view of the plot (a green field arable field) below. There will undoubtedly be a number of key issues. Note that the applicant refers to a 'local need' by which they presumably mean the Shalfleet Parish Plan and Affordable Housing Survey. The proposed development - already submitted by Spectrum Housing - at the Ashlar opposite the Horse and Groom and next to the Shalfleet School also cites the same 'local need'. Last summer, the owners of West Wight Alpacas in Wellow announced in the County Press their building proposals on some of their 26 acres for a pre-fab housing estate opposite the Baptist Church in Wellow - citing the SAME 'local need'!
I suggest that whether you are for or against this proposal, or just want to be kept informed, you come along to the Shalfleet Parish Council Meeting on Wednesday 14th May (this coming Wednesday). This isn't on the agenda so probably cannot be discussed by the Council in session, there is opportunity to talk to others in the community and also to your local Parish Councillors who will no doubt be pleased to hear your views and concerns.
