Project name
Binstead Place Plan: Phase 1
Description of Project
When the Ryde Place Plan was approved by Full Council, councillors noted that it excluded Binstead. It
is now proposed to prepare a ward place plan specifically for Binstead. Preliminary discussions have
been held between the ward councilor Diana Conyers, planning clerk Chris Turvey, place plan
consultant Ian Boyd and some interested residents. On 29 December 2020, Diana and Ian conducted a
preliminary walkabout in the ward. They were accompanied by Dr Mary Edwards, a Binstead resident
and geography lecturer at Southampton University, who is willing to help on a voluntary basis.
Following the walkabout, Ian produced some notes and maps, outlining possible issues and projects.
Diana and Ian have also been in touch with the Hampshire and IW Wildlife Trust (HIWWT), who have
selected Binstead as one of three areas for their IW Green Spaces project
(https://www.hiwwt.org.uk/iow-greenspaces ) and would be interested in possible collaboration.
The intention is to prepare the Plan in two phases: an initial documentary study in this financial year
and a public consultation in the next financial year, when hopefully it will be possible to hold public
meetings. Funding is requested from the Public Realm budget for the first phase. Funding for the
second phase will be sought from the new Planning Consultancy budget.This request is for £900 to
fund Ian Boyd to spend 2.5 days of time.
