A national chain of builders’ merchants has been unveiled as the key client in the second phase of the St George’s Park development in Newport.
With two other locations in Ryde and Wroxall, Travis Perkins is looking for a third, this time on Godric Road, Newport, across the road from Asda.
It would sit next to the former Newport FC football ground, which is set to be turned into a retail park, with McDonald’s and Costa drive-thrus and retail outlets.
Proposed by Tony Wake and South Coast Leisure, the builders yard would provide storage, display, distribution and sale of materials including timber, plumbing and heating supplies and floor coverings.
It would provide 25 new jobs.
Planning agent for the development, Paul Airey, said in documents there was no obvious available or suitable alternative site for the proposal within Newport, and Travis Perkins has been searching for years.
It was said Travis Perkins see the Newport branch as an additional offering on the Island, is hoping to sign a 20-year lease, and would keep its existing stores open.
A 10-metre landscape buffer is proposed between the building yard and the houses on Pan Lane, to screen the development and act as a wildlife corridor.
A noise impact assessment has also been undertaken and suggests a 3.5 metre tall acoustic fence be placed along the boundary to make the level of noise during the day acceptable.
According to planning documents, the site would be open from 6.30am to 7pm Monday to Friday, and 7am to 5pm on Saturdays.
To view all the plans, 22/00032/FUL, you can visit the council’s planning register. Comments can be submitted until February 25.
A revised planning application was submitted for the first part of the retail park development, which would reduce the floor space of the units by 25 per cent.
It was submitted to the Isle of Wight Council last year and it is hoped a decision on the application is imminent.
