Search the Public Notice PortalA Braai restaurant could become a more permanent feature on the Isle of Wight if a change of use planning application is approved.
Rob Oglander's change of use proposal and associated car park at New Farm on West Lane in Brading has been readvertised with an enlarged application site.
In July 2024, New Farm started to host Braai—a culinary and entertainment experience inspired by South African outdoor barbecue culture.
The pop-up restaurant is a collective of Nunwell Home Farm, Wight Knuckle Brewery, Wight Whisky and Heron, led by chef Alex Kimber.
Mr Oglander's agent, BCM Wilson Hill, last year said two farm buildings are no longer required for farming purposes and that the proposal will support local business.
A statement submitted to the council said:
“The proposal will provide an important farm diversification, retaining a commercial use adding to the local and Island economy both in employment and use of local produce.
“Other than the farmhouse, which is part of the overall farm, there are no other residential properties nearby and therefore the proposed use will not result in any adverse impacts on any neighbouring properties.

“The proposed development will preserve the historic fabric of the buildings, optimising their use to be the most viable long-term solution and delivering public benefit.”
The planning application previously prompted concerns over noise and light pollution from neighbours.
On behalf of Mr and Mrs Bonsey, Martha James told planners:
“The ambient noise levels in the countryside are low, and these proposals would include events continuing into the night for a much greater proportion of the year, causing a higher risk of noise pollution adversely impacting residents.
“If the current applications are granted there will be yet more artificial lighting on the site which would further harm both public enjoyment of dark skies and wildlife.”
The Isle of Wight Council’s public consultation on proposal 25/00323/FUL runs until December 4 and a new decision date is not yet scheduled.
