I'm not researched this in detail but some observations immediately come to mind:
1. Alpaca breeding: In Wellow, West Wight Alpacas are arguing that they need to live on-site to look after breeding alpacas. At the time of writing their argument was turned down by the Planning Inspector (on appeal) and they have another almost identical application in with Planning awaiting a hearing at the Planning Committee to argue their case again. If the IWC accepts that breeding alpacas require an agricultural worker to live on-site (in the case of West Wight Alpacas they are asking for their whole family of five to live on-site on agricultural land) then a precedent has been set within Shalfleet Parish. There might well be an application for a house or houses to be built on Barton Corner.
2. Vermiculture: The embedded Planning Statement states that they will use common blue-nosed worms. According to my research, these are not appropriate for vermiculture. The worms that are used in vermiculture are not native and can have environmental consequences if released into the environment. The worms need a feed-stock. This can be waste that attracts flies. From my research, the proposal as outlined in the Planning Statement doesn't make sense.
I imagine this will be on the next Parish Council Meeting Agenda on Wednesday 10th June at 7.15pm at the Newbridge Parish Office. You can do your own research from the IWC website at https://www.iwight.com/planning/AppDetails3.aspx?frmId=29716 You can leave your comments for the Planning Department on that same site but probably best to wait until after the Parish Council Meeting. I plan to video the Parish Council Meeting so if you are unable to get to the meeting, I will publish the video onto the blog.
