After a proposer, seconder and a vote via a show of hands, the following was:
RESOLVED:
The following planning applications were considered by the Committee:
Application No: 25/00643/FUL
Parish(es): Ryde, Ward(s): Ryde West
Location: 119 High Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 2SU
Proposal: Proposed extension at second floor level to form a self-contained flat (revised scheme)
The committee was informed that there had been a number of objections regarding this proposal. Amongst the possible material considerations were overlooking, loss of light, lack of cycle and waste storage, no contributions to the Solent SPA and no contribution to affordable housing.
Application No: 25/00481/FUL
Parish(es): Ryde, Ward(s): Haylands And Swanmore
Location: Quest, 45 Weeks Road, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 2TJ
Proposal: Proposed alterations and replacement single storey rear/side extension
The committee was informed that this application was for a change of use to an HMO although as it was to have only 6 bedrooms it did not meet the threshold for requiring planning permission for that purpose. The planning clerk explained that as a result of this no report was required from Island Roads regarding possible increase in traffic and the implications on parking in the area. Furthermore, no contributions were required for the Solent SPA.
The committee felt that the benefit of the extra accommodation outweighed the harm.
Application No: 25/00741/FUL
Parish(es): Ryde, Ward(s): Ryde Monktonmead
Location: 51 - 52 High Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 2RE
Proposal: Retention of existing premises in Class E Use for proposed dental practice (ground floor Nos 51 and 52); retention of existing residential use (1st and 2nd floor No 51); change of use of 1st and 2nd floor from residential to Class E (No 52) for proposed dental practice.
The committee were disappointed that residential property was being removed however they felt that the proposed use was much needed and if it could be conditioned that the lost residential units could be replaced with NHS dentists this would be more palatable.
The following planning applications were considered under delegated powers by the Community Planning Officer and the Chair and Vice Chair of the Committee and they propose no objection.

Cllr Conyers gave the committee details of the latest public realm project which had recently been completed. This was for a new bench on Spencer Road. The Planning Clerk informed the committee that there had been a request for a commemorative plaque to be fixed to the bench. As a result, it was decided that a protocol should be formulated for such requests. This would be carried out by the Planning Strategy sub- committee.
The committee were given details of the latest news regarding the Ryde High Street HAZ which are included below.
“The DfT has now provided the IWC with a contract of grant which mean they can move to awarding contracts for the delivery of specific parcels of Green Link work that can be progressed in the current financial year. The Ryde HAZ scheme is one of these and IWC remain committed to its delivery.
Given that the works include a significant amount of SUDS work it has been agreed that the works will be delivered in partnership with Southern Water. Southern Water will lead on the procurement of the works and to this extent have requested quotes for the work from Clancy Docwra. IWC are waiting to receive these quotes – it is hoped by the end of the month. The IWC are also waiting to understand exactly how much Southern Water is prepared to contribute towards the delivery of the works and ongoing maintenance of the SUDS infrastructure. RTC hope to have clarity on this towards the end of the month.”
The next scheduled meeting would be on WEDNESDAY 25 JUNE 2025.
