Search the Public Notice PortalA proposal for three new ‘family size’ houses near an Island village has been criticised as ‘creeping development’ and ‘not what the Isle of Wight needs’.
Northwood Parish Council (NPC) objected to Robert Russell’s planning application for three two-storey homes, designated as ‘market housing’, next to Newport Road and south of Northwood.
The proposal also includes parking space, an access road and landscaping.
Mr Russell’s agent, the Andrew White Planning Consultancy, said it offers ‘housing choice to meet local needs’ and would deliver ‘energy-efficient’ homes in a location with ‘ready access to local infrastructure’.
The plans represent ‘phase two’ of a ‘wider residential development’ at the site, with the first phase already approved and ‘under construction’, according to the consultancy.
NPC’s concerns include ‘increased cars’ on Newport Road and ‘further pressure’ on services, with ‘health in particular’ already being at a maximum capacity for Northwood.
The parish council claimed the proposed housing was marketed at £700,000 per unit and that the site has a ‘history of surface flooding’.

It also said there was potential for sewage-related pollution.
The Andrew White Planning Consultancy’s submitted statement said: “This application seeks permission for three family size dwellings. The proposed dwellings (arranged as a pair of semi’s (plots five and six) and detached house (plot seven)) are shown to be well-spaced from one another and also from plot four on phase one.
“Plot sizes are generous with front gardens being some 10 metres in depth with rear gardens being some 15 metres long.”
The council’s public consultation on the proposal 25/01078/FUL ends on October 3 and a decision is expected on October 28.
