PAPER A
MINUTES OF RYDE TOWN COUNCIL’S PLANNING, ENVIRONMENT AND REGENERATION
COMMITTEE HELD ON TUESDAY, 9 NOVEMBER 2021 AT 7.00PM
IN GARFIELD ROAD METHODIST CHURCH, RYDE
Members Present: Cllr Simon Cooke (Chair), Cllr Georgie Carter, Cllr John McLagan, Cllr
Richard May, Cllr Malcolm Ross, and Cllr Jenna Sabine.
Also in Attendance: Jon Baker (Committees Coordinator) and Chris Turvey (Planning,
Regeneration and Environment Officer).
PUBLIC QUESTIONS
A member of the public asked that when there are any major planning applications to consider at
future meetings could the relevant Isle of Wight Council (IWC) councillor representing the area in
question be invited to make any representations. It was anticipated that a reserved matters
application for the Pennyfeathers development was being heard by the IWC’s Planning
Committee in early 2022 and that the current IWC ward councillor was not a member of Ryde
Town Council.
The Chair advised that this would be done.
133/21 APOLOGIES
Apologies were received from Cllr Charles Chapman and Cllr Karen Lucioni.
134/21 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
Cllr Richard May declared an interest in Minute 138/21 (ii) as he knew the applicant and
would not take part in any discussions and decision about the application.
135/21 REQUESTS FOR DISPENSATIONS
None requested.
136/21 MINUTES
The minutes to the previous meeting held on 19 October 2021 were reviewed.
RESOLVED:
THAT, the minutes to the meeting held on 19 October 2021 were approved as a true
and accurate record and were signed off by the Chair.

138/21 PLANNING APPLICATIONS
The following planning applications were considered by the committee:
i.
Parish(es): Ryde Ward(s): Ryde Monktonmead
Location: 24 The Strand, Ryde, PO33 1JF
Proposal: Demolition of garage; proposed three storey side extension to form self-
contained dwelling
The application was for three floors with balconies on each which could create some
concerns around overlooking the neighbouring property.
Members were advised that Island Roads had requested additional information owing
to some confusion in the application which appeared to incorrectly identify the parking
provision for the new residents of the proposed extension. The application should
show two additional parking spaces, but these had not been identified on the site after
the removal of the existing garage.
Whilst the application was not for a Grade ii listed building, it was in a Conservation
Area and that any building materials should be of a sympathetic nature to the existing
construction.
Although the committee took on board the advice given to them by the Planning,
Regeneration and Environment Officer around the concerns raised by Island Roads,
some members believed that parking for eight cars was still possible due two spaces
being made available by the side of the current garage (the proposed extension) and
six spaces to the right-hand side of the building, thus creating eight.
Members considered the issue of the new extension overlooking the adjacent building
but believed that there were no windows to the side of that property which the
proposed balconies would face.
It was also noted that some members believed that the extension would add to the
housing numbers identified on the Island Planning Strategy, but it was noted that
whilst the extension covered three floors, it was for a single occupancy, consisting of
two people.
One member asked could applicants be invited to future committee meetings to be
able to provide their case for approval. Members were however advised that this
would not be possible owing to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and
that their contact details were not made public by the IWC (the Planning Authority).
Members were also reminded that Ryde Town Council was a statutory consultee and
that the IWC was the decision maker. Should any application go to the IWC’s
Planning Committee then all applicants would be invited to make their case at the
relevant IWC Planning Committee meeting.
There were no objections raised by members of the public, although it was noted that
one committee member was concerned over an apparent absence of an application
notice at the site. Following a show of hands, it was:
RESOLVED:
THAT Ryde Town Council raised no objection to the application.
A - 2
Parish(es): Ryde Ward(s): Ryde North West
Location: 22 Buckland Gardens, Ryde, PO33 3AG
Proposal: Demolition of conservatory; proposed single storey rear and side
extensions; alterations; rear veranda; porch
This application was requested to be considered by the committee by a member of
the public as there could be issues around the proposed development with
neighbouring properties owing to it forming a larger footprint as well as being a
possible overdevelopment.
Members were advised that there had been no objections raised by any members of
the public and statutory consultees and there was no evidence of any intrusive
development.
After a show of hands, it was:
RESOLVED:
THAT Ryde Town Council raised no objection to the application.

Planning, Regeneration and Environment Officer and they proposed no objections:

Ryde Town Council objected to the application for the following reasons:
The proposed UPVC windows will detract from the buildings heritage style and have
a negative effect on the area. Furthermore, allowing this would set a dangerous
president for other properties in conservation areas. RTC feel that alternative
wooden windows with similar thermal properties but keeping the original style of the
building should be installed.

be noted.

141/21 ISLE OF WIGHT - LOCAL CYCLING AND WALKING INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
(LCWIP)
Councillors were advised that at a Workshop of the Ryde Regeneration Working Group
(RRWG) held on 8 November 2021, cycling, and walking routes, as part of the
infrastructure for the major developments being planned for Ryde was discussed and that
any input from the RRWG for any future LCWIP discussions appertaining to Ryde should
be welcomed.
Whilst much of the LCWIP was a long-term plan, various areas that required basic repairs
should be identified and that any funding could be met by various Section 106 payments.
It was noted that the Planning, Regeneration and Environment Clerk would approach the
IWC and Island Roads to enquire about securing any such funds.
It was also noted that the Committees Coordinator had published the Ryde element of
the LCWIP on the Town Councils website and that all members would be sent a link to it.
142/21 PLANNING TRAINING FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Members were advised that to provide the committee with the best resources to make an
informed decision around planning applications, some training around planning law and
procedures would be beneficial to them.
A proposed training course would take place in early 2022, facilitated by the Town
Council.
