      Parish: Ryde Ward: Ryde North West Decision Date: 21/08/2023


      Ryde Town Council are very conscious of the need for new housing and as a result support this application subject to the following:


      1. Parking - There appears to be a complete change of mind with Island Roads approach to the parking requirements included in this application. The parking requirement outlined by Island Roads for No. 23/00922/FUL as stated pre revised application was that: "Officers have reviewed all of the comments provided and have further considered the proposed access in its established context. Officers conclude that based on local knowledge a no parking solution for this development would not be acceptable due to existing capacity issues in respect of local car parks and on- street parking. As such, therefore there is a need to secure on-site parking. It is Officers' view that although the site would not have the ideal level of visibility, given the circumstances of this area which include Newport Street being one-way, the proliferation of other residential accesses which are substandard in terms of visibility, the apparent low-speed "sense of place" of Newport Street and the removal of historic traffic from the local network that would have been associated with the former use, on balance the proposed arrangement would not have an unacceptable level of impact in respect of highway safety." Island Roads stated that on-site parking was very much needed which Ryde Town Council agree with, but they also mentioned visibility splays which for this junction in particular are not relevant owing to vehicles not being able to approach the junction from Newport Street. Vehicles can only approach from Station Street where they would be pulling away from a standstill only ten metres from the on-site parking.


        The revised application offers no on-site parking or includes a Parking Provision Assessment. However, Island Roads have no objection. Their comments include the following: "No car parking is proposed and therefore I can confirm that this proposal is not in compliance with this standard. Notwithstanding this, it is noted that although the site is located in Zone 2, that it is directly adjacent Zone 1 whereby it could be argued that parking provision need not be provided or the shortfall in parking is not a significant material consideration due to its locality to town centre infrastructure." Ryde Town Councils position on parking is that on-site parking should be provided as in the original application but the need for visibility splay adherence should be ignored in this instance as there is no passing traffic which could cause concern.


      2. Photovoltaic Panels on Roof - Ryde Town Council agree the principle of including solar energy solutions wherever possible however, within a conservation area an effort should be made to use solar tiles that mimic slate roof tiles such as the ones in the following link to reduce the impact on the character of the conservation area. https://smartlyenergy.com/solar-energy/solar-tiles


      3. Solent Special Protection Area (SPA) - Appropriate contributions should be made to the Solent SPA


    18. Application No: 23/01020/FUL

      Location: Former Ryde Youth and Community Centre, 97 High Street, Ryde, PO33 2SZ Proposal: Change of use from D1 to E(e) for provision of medical or health services. including disabled access ramp (revised plan) (revised description) (readvertised) Parish: Ryde Ward: Ryde Monktonmead

      Decision Date: 30/08/2023


      Ryde Town Council raises no objection to the application; however, it does request that the IWC make a condition that approval is dependent on the dental practice offering NHS treatment.


  2. APPLICATIONS REFUSED


Application No: 23/01065/FUL

Location: Land Between 61 and 63, Bettesworth Road, Ryde, PO33 3EN Proposal: Proposed pair of semi-detached dwellings

Decision Date: 10/08/2023

Parish: Ryde Ward: Haylands and Swanmore


Ryde Town Council believes that whilst the applicant has endeavoured to address many of the issues which were identified within the submitted comments and has listed these in the planning statement. Ryde Town Council agreed that a number of their issues had been addressed, however it still objects to this application on the following grounds.


  1. The Parking Provision Assessment included in this revised application was short of detail as to the time of day and date that the observations were made. Members of the planning committee expressed concerns regarding the data as they were of the opinion that parking was a huge problem in the area.


  2. Insufficient parking provision which is inconsistent with the guidelines set out in Policy DM17 Sustainable Travel of the Isle of Wight Core Strategy.


  3. No indication of any contribution to the Solent Special Protection Area (SPA).
