Recent Planning Approvals

5/8/10

Over the last year our planning consultant, David Long and lead designer, Lincoln Miles have worked hard to inject life back into a former hotel in Shanklin. In order to achieve this the Christopher Scott practise gained an enabling consent to construct 4 terraced homes on land adjacent to the hotel and within the existing Conservation Area.

After obtaining the decision David Long suggested that “this scheme sets a benchmark for other Hotels on the Island to raise capital and inject life back into substandard tourist accommodation. The new residential development can be sold without restriction but allows the applicant to gain surplus capital to use within his business”.

David Long is also happy to announce the successful conclusion to a planning appeal in Seaview where the Isle of Wight Council refused consent to change the use of a redundant Cafe into a residential home. The planning inspectorate completely agreed with David Longs report and allowed the appeal. The proposal will provide a fantastic seaward facing property for a family and reuse a Brownfield site in a positive way.
