The Island Planning Strategy sets out the overall approach towards future development on the Island and the policies to be used in assessing planning applications.
It outlines the Isle of Wight Council’s planning policies on key issues like future housing need, affordable homes, associated infrastructure and how sustainable developments will help the Island drive towards its net zero carbon ambitions.
This is your opportunity to comment, either in support or objection, to the content of the plan. These comments will then be reviewed by an independent planning inspector at the next stage of the process.
Comments must be received by midnight on Monday 19 August.
Comment forms are available from local libraries, the council’s Seaclose offices and County Hall, but the best way to have your say is by using the online comments forms.
Please be aware that there are certain questions that have to be answered, which are clearly marked on both the online forms and the copy that can be downloaded.
All information on how to comment can be found at www.iow.gov.uk/planthewight
