East Cowes town councillor, Cameron Palin, is calling on all county councillors to come together and approve the draft Island Planning Strategy at Wednesday's council meeting
Cllr Fuller also said, "It means local communities will be able to have a say in restricting second and holiday homes and this in turn will lead to more housing availability"
Cllr Jarman argues that as the Isle of Wight population has only increased by 2,100 people in the last ten years that the annual target for house building should be 70 new homes, not the 479 quoted in the Island Plan
CPRE, The Countryside Charity, condemns plans to build 7,290 new homes on the Isle of Wight over the next 15 years as undeliverable and a potential threat to our UNESCO Biosphere status
Cllr Robertson says, “The Bembridge sites that have been allocated in the draft plan are outside the current settlement boundary and are close to areas that saw severe flooding this summer"
The Isle of Wight CPRE - the countryside charity - are calling on candidates in the upcoming election to pledge to seek a lower housing target in the next Island Plan
Central and West Wight Labour Party say the Isle of Wight council should wait for the Island Plan to be implemented before closing any schools and disrupting staff and pupils.
