The last stage of the process is for the Isle of Wight Council to officially ‘make’ the plan which will become planning policy.
Bembridge Parish Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Working Group are extremely proud of this achievement which has been two and a half years in the making.
Now the real work begins implementing the vision of the plan:-
To maintain and enhance the unique self-contained character of Bembridge Village whilst permitting small scale sustainable growth that is in line with the needs and wishes of the community.
