Housing Plans For Noke Common

Three homes are wanted for a site at Noke Common, between Cowes and Newport.

Plans for three, three-bed detached houses have been lodged with the Isle of Wight Council by Mr D. Meek.

The brownfield site along the Common is currently a pony paddock with a stable block, concrete courtyard and with various areas of gravel and grassland.

Planning documents submitted in favour of the application, by planning agents Hollis Design, say the housing proposed will continue the pattern of development in the area.

The documents also say no evidence was found of badgers, reptiles or amphibians, bats or nesting birds at the development site.

You can view the plans, 22/01471/FUL, on the council’s planning register. Comments can be submitted until October 2014.

One Noke Common resident has objected to the scheme saying the land is not suitable for housing due to problems with water flow.

Island Roads has recommended the scheme for conditional approval, under the proviso no house should be occupied until space has been laid out for six cars to be parked on the site.
