Captiva Homes Lodges Plans For 32 More Homes Next To Horsebridge Hill

A total of 32 more houses could be built next to Horsebridge Hill.

Captiva Homes has submitted new plans for housing, a means of access, landscaping and ancillary infrastructure on land at Acorn Farm.

The proposed development extends from the phase one site currently under construction, according to E3S Consulting.

During the summer, Horsebridge Hill was subject to a one-way system as a result of works relating to the Island’s largest affordable housing development in a decade from Captiva Homes and Sovereign Network Group at Acorn Farm.

Captiva’s latest proposal includes 20 houses classed as market housing, nine as social, affordable or intermediate rent and a further three designated as affordable home ownership, according to the developer’s application form.

Of the market housing, nine are two bedroomed, another nine have three bedrooms and two have four bedrooms or more.

Five of the social, affordable or intermediate rent homes are two bedroomed, three have three bedrooms and one is with four or more bedrooms.

There is one affordable home ownership property with two bedrooms and another two are three bedroomed.

A draft Section 106 agreement published on the Isle of Wight Council’s planning portal includes schedules on affordable housing, habitats mitigation relating to the Solent Special Protection Areas and biodiversity offsetting.

Section 106 agreements are legal contracts between a developer and a local planning authority, entered to mitigate the effects of developments and make them acceptable in planning terms.

No planning or design and access statements have yet been published on the planning portal page for application 25/01556/FUL.

County Hall’s public consultation concludes on December 12 and a decision is due on February 6.
