AFTER years of back-and-forth discussions and stalled plans, a 100-house development in Godshill has finally been given the green light, developer Captiva Homes has confirmed.
Plans for Lily Cross, on Scotland Farm, were first unveiled back in October 2021, replacing former plans for a care village.
The new approved scheme will include 107 first time buyer and family type one, two, three, and four-bedroom homes.
Among them, 39 will be affordable homes, Captiva Homes says, of which 70 per cent will be available to rent.
The Bembridge-based developer says the scheme will provide much more appropriate homes for the needs of the Isle of Wight community.
It also says the homes will be built to an SAP ‘A’ rating, meaning they will be particularly energy-efficient and cost-effective to run.
Captiva Homes owner, James Pink, said: “We are delighted to have received planning consent for our Lily Cross Farm development in Godshill.
“Construction of these much-needed homes can now commence immediately with the first being ready for occupation by the end of this year.
“The team at Captiva Homes, as local people, felt a real commitment to this site, to ensure maximum protection and responsible development of the land by Islanders who care about our community.
“We are excited to create a community of homes that integrates more appropriately within the surroundings than the previously approved scheme.”
