Sibden Hill Shanklin

Decision on Village Green status for land in Shanklin imminent

Members of the Appeal Sub-Committee will be hearing an application for an area in Shanklin to be awarded Village Green status next week.

Members will be asked on 2nd October to consider whether a town or village green status should be placed on land known as Carter Quarry, Sibden Hill, Shanklin.

The application was first submitted by Mr N Hilson on the 29 September 2009. As previously mentioned,

There is no statutory timescale for determining village green applications as such there may be some delay between submission and determination, this is due to the fact that applications are only worked on when resources allow.

Objection from IWC Property Services
An objection to the change in status to Village Green was submitted by the council’s own Property Services department back in 2010.

However, no evidence has been found to justify the objection and members of the sub-committee are being recommended to approve the application.
