Redevelopment plans for a factory in Binstead are back on the table.
A series of planning applications dating back to 2014 saw the Clark Masts factory on Ringwood Road marked up for major development.
It would have seen part of the factory demolished to make way for 20 houses.
Planning permission has expired, however, and with some questions over previous consents, new plans have been unveiled while the other applications are determined.
In an application to the Isle of Wight Council, Evergreen Holdings Ltd — the company behind Clark Masts — is seeking permission to demolish part of the existing factory, where eight houses will be built, and add a smaller, second factory building.
Documents submitted with the application show no jobs would be lost through the redevelopment.
There are currently 50 full-time and one part-time employees.
The new factory building will have updated and modern facilities, according toplanning agents BCM on behalf of the company, and continue to provide commercial floorspace.
Slight alterations have been made to the plans that were previously approved in a bid to make the housing more attractive to buyers, according to BCM.
The houses built on the brownfield land would be two-bed properties, meeting the Island’s needs for housing for small families and couples.
The positioning, scale and mass would not harm any existing or future residents’ amenity in terms of privacy, outlook or disturbance, say BCM.
While no affordable housing is proposed on-site, the developers are willing to provide a financial contribution towards its provision elsewhere.
To view the application, 21/02489/FUL, you can visit the council’s planning register. Comments can be submitted until April 26.
