Six Houses Could Be Built In Isle Of Wight Coastal Town

Six two-bedroom houses meeting the ‘needs of the local area’ could be built in an Isle of Wight coastal town.

Jack Reynolds has applied for planning permission to build six homes with car parking on land next to 20 and 27 Westwood Close in Cowes.

The proposed housing is in a ‘sustainable location’ and close to Cowes and Gurnard’s ‘services and facilities’, according to a Planning Statement from his agent, BCM Wilson Hill.

It says:

“The proposal is for six dwellings designed to reflect the existing dwellings (being of the same height, fenestrations and using the same colour palette and materials).

“The layout of the dwellings will be arranged in a simple terrace of four properties, with a further pair of semi-detached dwellings, following the general building line of the existing properties.

“The proposal will allow for modest gardens to the rear with open frontage and low-level boundary treatments, again, following the same context of the original area layout and design.

“The scheme is considered acceptable in principle as the housing meets the needs of the local area with a mix of smaller family houses.”

County Hall’s public consultation on proposal 25/01013/FUL finishes on September 8 and a decision is expected on September 29.
