Nine ‘High-Quality, Purpose-Built Brading Family Homes’ Could Be Built On Land Behind Pub

Nine ‘high-quality, purpose-built family homes’ could be built on disused land behind an Isle of Wight pub.

Cordage 11 Ltd has submitted revised plans to County Hall to construct one two-bedroom house, five three-bedroom houses and three with four bedrooms at a site next to the Bugle Inn in Brading.

The developer’s proposal also comprises parking spaces, cycle and bin storage and landscaping.

A Planning Statement prepared by CPC Planning Consultants Ltd on behalf of Cordage says:

“The Isle of Wight Council seeks to deliver a minimum of 8,320 net dwellings on the Island by 2027, in which 980 of the new housing will be sought to accommodate in the Rural Service Centres and the wider rural area through small-scale development.

“The proposed development will therefore not only contribute to meeting the council’s housing target, but also make a positive contribution towards the future viability of the settlement.

“The proposed development will also respect and conserve the character of the rural area by following the existing development pattern within the settlement, where the immediate area comprises mainly two-storey residential properties.

“Each proposed dwelling will have two spaces to store bicycles, which encourages active travel and promotes sustainability.

“Both soft and hard landscaping and further biodiversity enhancement measures are incorporated, to enhance biodiversity and achieve biodiversity net gain.”

The council public consultation on application 24/00560/FUL finishes on July 18 and a decision is due on August 6.
