Deadline for public comments on Atherfield Bay redevelopment looms

Residents have until Friday this week to share their views on a revised application to redevelop Atherfield Bay Holiday Camp on the Military Road.

A previous application was rejected by the Planning Committee in February on the basis that,

“Members concluded that the application by virtue of its size, scale, mass and density would fail to protect, conserve or enhance the integrity of the natural environment and would adversely impact on the surrounding landscape. They determined that the application was contrary to policies SP4, SP5, DM2 and DM12 of the Island Plan Core Strategy.”

The council’s planning Website currently has 60 comments on the application for,

Demolition of clubhouse chalets swimming pools managers dwelling maintenance and other ancillary buildings redevelopment comprising 92 units of holiday accommodation clubhouse two swimming pools leisure centre play area and service buildings refurbishment of reception building (to include provision of managers accommodation) and tennis courts parking

Have your say
Many of the comments suggest very minor changes have been made to the application and the concerns of residents and the planning committee have not been addressed.

See the council’s website for more detail about the application and to leave your comments by close of business on Friday.
