Once adopted, the action plans will become formal documents designating uses for areas of land and to help determine planning applications.

The documents and a comments form can be viewed at and downloaded from the council website.

Copies are also available for inspection at the Isle of Wight Council’s Seaclose office reception and County Hall reception in Newport, and at libraries at Cowes, East Cowes, Newport, Ryde, Sandown and Shanklin.
