Ryde Town Council plays an active part in all local planning issues.

Planning is probably the area of the Council’s role that is best known to the community and which can be of the most importance. Ryde Town Council comments on all Planning Applications within Ryde as a statutory consultee of the Local Planning Authority (the Isle of Wight Council) and facilitates discussion with them on matters of local concern.

Position Statement

In response to the Isle of Wight Council’s (IWC) Regeneration Strategy, and their review of the Island Plan Core Strategy which has led to the drafting of the new Island Planning Strategy (IPS), Ryde Town Council (RTC) has produced a Position Statement (PS) which aims to provide credible data and evidence to submit to the IWC’s Regeneration Strategy and to influence and inform the IPS at a key stage in its development.

Ryde Town Council have reviewed their Position Statement and incorporated the additional influences made by the Heritage Action Zone funding award and the Ryde Place plan.

The links below will take you to Ryde Town Council’s Position Statement, a document which gives the key points of the Position Statement and the recently and the long overdue Draft Island Planning Strategy.

Ryde Place Plan

Ryde Town Council, in partnership with the Isle of Wight Council, have produced a Place Plan for Ryde, providing actions for positive change and regeneration across its priority retail and seafront areas and setting the whole within a context that characterises the town. The Place can be found using the following link:

Ryde Place Plan

Public Realm Strategy

Ryde is one of the main gateways to the Isle of Wight and its largest town. Considerable development in the 19th Century created a town with strong retail, economic, social and tourism functions and a rich wealth of townscape quality. Changes in the patterns of tourism and a gradual economic decline in the town since the 1960s have led to a loss of economic prosperity. This has had an impact on the quality of building maintenance, the loss of traditional urban features and the longer-term vitality of the town as a whole.

The Town Council have approved a budget for public realm improvements. This public realm strategy is a key initiative and has been developed to ensure that the Town Councils Public Realm Budget is used to deliver sustainable and appropriate public realm solutions in Ryde, underpinned by quality of design, local distinctiveness and respect for historic character. It takes regard of various plans and policies that have sought to provide a steer on the matters previously, namely the Ryde Area Action Plan and the Atkins Ryde Public Realm Strategy. A new RTC Public Realm Forum has been set up to consider Public Realm and Greening projects and make recommendations as to how the budgets are allocated. Ryde Town Councillors can submit requests personally or as a representative for residents or other organisations. If you have a suggestion for a public realm application please contact your ward Councillor to discuss this further. You can find out who your ward’s Councillor is and how to contact them here.

Alternatively members of the public can contact the Planning officer by phone on 01983811105 or by email chris.turvey@rydetowncouncil.gov.uk
