Confusion in the Isle of Wight Council chamber has led to a further delay for a major controversial housing development on the outskirts of Ryde.

The West Acre Park development was due to be discussed by the council's planning committee this afternoon (Tuesday) after further issues with the plans for 473 homes were raised.

The application has been held in waiting since July 2021 when approval was given to grant planning application but due to legal matters being discussed that has not been done — now 17 months later.

The application was not even debated by the committee tonight.

A number of councillors commented they had misunderstood the papers given to them.

More to follow.
