Former cattery to make way for new self-catering lets on Isle of Wight

An Isle of Wight holiday let business is looking to expand — by knocking down a former cattery.

Cooks Castle Farm, off of St John’s Road in Wroxall, is home to holiday lets, stables and pet-sitting facilities.

Redundant cattery building
Owner, Mr A Palmer, is seeking permission to demolish a redundant cattery building, replacing it with two two-bed properties, because he says demand is high for self-catering.

Planning documents say substantial investment would be required to refurbish the building for it to be used by animals.

You can view the plans, 23/01915/FUL, on the council’s planning register.

The public consultation runs until 1st December 2023.
