Residents in Sandown are invited to take part in a two-week consultation on the management of the Conservation Area.
With the special historic interest and character that merited the designation of the conservation area now ‘at risk’ and in decline, the consultation aims to gather the views of residents between now and 14th February.
Public drop-in event
A drop-in event takes place this coming Friday (4th February) between 2.30pm and 7pm at the Broadway Centre, Sandown PO36 9GG.
The types of questions you’ll need to think about beforehand are:
- What do you feel about Sandown Town centre?
- What do you like and want to see looked after and improved?
- What makes you feel positive about the town centre?
- What gets you down about the town centre?
Share your views
If you’re not able to attend the drop-in event, you can download a map and mark it up with the above questions in mind.

Who’s running the consultation?
The Isle of Wight Council has appointed Murphy Associates / The Conservation Studio to produce a Sandown Conservation Area Appraisal Management Plan building on the content of the existing Character Appraisal.
They say,
The intention is identify how change can be managed, improvements can be realised, how joined-up working can benefit the area and where other initiatives and projects can be harnessed to act as catalysts for change.
Managing and Improving the conservation area is a shared responsibility.
