The Island Core Strategy is now dead

15/1/10

The Isle of Wight Council have now announced defeat in pursuing the document which will set the policy for the Island’s future over the next 20 years. This has been initially turned down by the Inspector. This company has provided strong vocal and written representations on this policy and plans. This means that a new timetable will be provided. This is:

* April/May 2010
Proposed Submission Consultation

* July/August 2010
Submission and period for Representations

* October 2010
Pre Hearing Meeting

*December 2010
Examination Hearings

* March 2011
Adoption

This is the time for us to move forward to ensure the right policies are put in place, which again will provide what land can be brought forward for development. David Long, Town Planning Consultant, can be contacted if people need further information on this service.
