COMMUNITY PLANS

A number of communities have asked the council to adopt their community plans as Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs).

To become adopted as an SPD, these community plans are required to go through further public consultation and be in general conformity with the Core Strategy, as an SPD forms part of the overall Island Plan.

At the request of the local communities of Chale, Nettlestone and Seaview and Yarmouth and Thorley, the Isle of Wight Council has adopted the content of the community documents as Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) within the Island Plan Local Development Framework.

All three documents were prepared by Parish and Town Councils and cover their administrative areas and were supported by the following documents:
