Isle of Wight Council is preparing the ‘Island Planning Strategy’ – a new Local Plan which when adopted will replace the currently adopted development plan. The Island Planning Strategy will guide development on the island over the next 15 years.
Isle of Wight Council have conducted the following public consultations to date:
| Preparations | Ongoing |
| Draft plan consultation (Regulation 18) | July 2021 |
| Pre-Submission consultation | LIVE |
| Examination in public | December 2024 (estimate) |
| Adoption | October 2025 |
The Council is now consulting on a ‘Pre-Submission’ version of its emerging Island Planning Strategy, which sets out the Council’s preferred spatial strategy and policies – including the protection of unique natural assets, the management of public services with a growing population, and the ‘under-delivery’ of market housing and affordable homes. This is likely to form the final stage of consultation before the emerging plan is submitted for Examination.
The deadline for submission is midnight on Monday 19 August.
