Plans are back on the table for a housing development in an Isle of Wight village — after old permissions expired.
The current greenfield site on the edge of Harry Cheek Gardens in Northwood had previous approval for 28 houses, but it expired last year.
New plans for 27 houses
Now keen to bring the site forward, Wight and West Country Developments have submitted new plans to build 27 houses on the land near Pallance Road and Wyatts Lane.
Agent, Andrew White Planning Consultancy, said the only material change in circumstances since 2019 when the first permission was approved, was that there is an even greater need for housing.
Affordable housing scheme
It is proposed the development would have a range of two to four-bed houses that could either be bought on the open market or through an affordable housing scheme or rented at a lower, social rate.
The planning agents say the site is within the Medina Valley Key Regeneration Area where the Isle of Wight Council is actively promoting housing growth.
In documents submitted to the council’s planning department, they say the development would be of a high quality and robust appearance, based on modern interpretation of a classical approach.

You can view the plans, 23/00849/FUL, on the Isle of Wight Council’s planning register.
The public consultation runs until 9th September 2023.
