East Cowes Car Park Makes Way For Shop Development

East Cowes Car Park Makes Way For Shop Development
By Emily Wells Fri, 15 June 2012 1:20PM

A former public car park in East Cowes could be transformed into new shops and flats for the town.

An application's been submitted to the Isle of Wight Council's planning team for four retail units and nine maisonettes on the former Well Road car park next to Waitrose.

The plans also include a services drop off layby and alteration to the level of Church Path.

Similar plans were submitted in 2009 but were withdrawn before they could be determined

The applicants say the development will create new jobs in the retail units and is part of the wider regeneration of the town.

Members of the public have until 15th July to comment on the plans.
