Six more homes could be built in Ryde as an application goes back before planners — a year after it was refused.
An area of land, which neighbours Westridge Garage, St Johns Graveyard and the proposed site for Pennyfeathers — the major 904-home plan, is earmarked for development.
It has been proposed to fill the gap between developments on a bit of grassland off Great Preston Road, submitted to the Isle of Wight council by Roach Pittis Solicitors.
Formerly rejected
A previous application was refused by the council’s planning authority in March last year after it failed to provide a balanced mix of housing to meet local need.
The development would have appeared cramped development and overly regimented, planners said, failing to reflect the more varied, spacious character of housing in the area.
Revised plans address concerns
According to the planning agents, Nova Architectural, the application has been revised to address all the reasons for refusal: changing the housing types, their appearance, the site layout and access.
The property mix will now feature three, three-bed detached houses, two, two-bed semi-detached houses and a two-bed bungalow.

You can view the application, 23/00427/FUL, on the council’s Website.
The public consultation runs until 18th April.
