A Planning Meeting has been called by Shalfleet Parish Council for Wednesday 30th September 2015 at the Parish Office, Newbridge, 7.15pm public welcome to speak. The meeting is to discuss the two planning applications submitted by West Wight Alpacas to remove restrictions on their opening hours and to construct a concrete access and apron on the agricultural field directly opposite Weald House.
Residents said last night that they "feared the worst" since West Wight Alpacas announced their intention to build a modular housing estate on this land, in August 2013. See County Press "Modular homes idea for parish's young people" County Press August 10th 2013. One resident told the Blog "They already have access to this field from their main holding at the south side of the plot and this planning application is for a large entrance with hard standing that could not be justified for agricultural use alone. They don't say what they want to do with the field but with an entrance like that it isn't going to be just agricultural use, surely?"
Other residents living closer to the farm shop told the Blog that they were already troubled by cooking smells, noise, traffic and vehicle headlights shining directly into their property and that any increase on the present permitted opening hours (10 am to 5.30pm) would "destroy the peace and rural nature of the hamlet".
The location of the Isle of Wight Council planning webpages for these applications are on the council website and embedded in the Blog below, for your convenience. If you wish to make a formal comment about these applications direct to the council you can do so at:
