PLANS to open a luxury beach club at Sandown have been axed, due to building problems.

The Isle of Wight Council said Carlauren — the firm behind the project — had never even discussed the plans with the authority.

Carlauren said Origin Beach Club would feature DJs, live music, a swimming pool, luxury food and fine wine.

It unveiled the plans on its website and Facebook page in May, promising a hot tub, indoor and outdoor bars and restaurants and hotel accommodation.

Yesterday (Tuesday), the company announced on Facebook the plans had been cancelled due to issues with building works.

The Isle of Wight Council said it had not been approached about the plans.

A spokesperson said: “No permissions have been granted to section off a beach in that area.

“Sandown beach remains very much open to the public and at present there are no plans to change that.”
