APPLICATIONS REFUSED
Location: 68 High Street, Ryde, PO33 2RJ
Proposal: Change of use of retail area on ground floor to form additional residential
accommodation for existing dwelling
Parish: Ryde Ward: Ryde South
Decision Date: 22/04/2021
Ryde Town Council objected to the application on the following grounds:
1.
The granting of such an application would be inappropriate within a ground level
commercial location. It would set a precedent for the change of use class in the
Town Centre boundary area, of which this within, and have a detrimental effect
on the town's retail and commercial activity.
2.
The granting of the application to convert to residential use from commercial
use would be prior to the outcome of the Government Consultation on Extension
of Permitted Development Rights to Support Housing Delivery and Public
Service Infrastructure and would therefore pre-empt any decision on
government policy.
3.
The proposal is contrary to Ryde Town Council's Position Statement and the
Ryde Place Plan. In addition it is contrary to current Isle of Wight Council
Planning Policy DM9 regarding change of use to non-retail at ground level within
town centre boundaries. The application has not demonstrated that it would not
have a significant adverse effect on the retail function, design, character, vitality
and viability of the town centre.
4.
The property falls within the Ryde Heritage Action Zone which is at present
preparing a shop front design code.
5.
The proposals include the installation of plastic / UPVC windows on the front
elevation despite the property being within a conservation area.
