PAPER E
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.
E - 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.
The following applications were considered under delegated powers by the Chair and the
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.
RESOLVED:
THAT the decisions taken by the Isle of Wight Council since the 19 October 2021
be noted.

guarantee that any windows on the proposed first floor extension which overlook
the neighbouring property should be glazed with frosted or obscure glass.

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.
143/21 PUBLIC REALM APPLICATIONS

IN GARFIELD ROAD METHODIST CHURCH, RYDE
Members Present: Cllr Simon Cooke (Chair), Cllr Charles Chapman, Cllr John McLagan, Cllr
Richard May, and Cllr Malcolm Ross.
Also in Attendance: Jon Baker (Committees Coordinator) and Chris Turvey (Planning,
Regeneration and Environment Officer).
PUBLIC QUESTIONS

1. Had there had been any further contact with Bird Aware Solent (since the meeting in March
2021) with a view to getting the Bird Interpretation Boards and/or warnings about the problems
of dogs chasing birds on Ryde beaches?
The Planning, Regeneration and Environment Officer informed the committee that any Solent
Special Protection Area Payments (SPA’s) received would contribute towards the wardens
that patrolled the beaches. Issues around the availability of information boards would be
investigated and reported back as soon as possible.
2. Would any proposed review of the Position Statement take into account any potential flooding
problems such as those experienced in the summer of 2021, especially in Binstead?

150/21 PLANNING APPLICATIONS
The following planning applications were considered by the committee:
i.
Parish(es): Ryde Ward(s): Ryde West
Location: St Anthony’s, Playstreet Lane, Ryde, PO33 3LQ
Proposal: Proposed front, rear, and side extensions and the removal of front and rear
dormer windows, reroofing of main house with living green roof and formation of new
vehicular access and driveway (readvertised application).
Members were reminded that this application had last been considered at the Ryde
Town Council’s Planning Committee meeting held on 4 May 2021 where members
had recommended refusal on the grounds of concerns raised by the Isle of Wight
Councils (IWC) Rights of Way. Members were of the view that crossing a well-used
footpath (R111) was not acceptable and the access to the property by the proposed
means should therefore not be allowed. The committee also believed that the
proposals also affected the public’s safety and their enjoyment of the footpath.
The main change to the application was that the existing entrance would become a
pedestrian only access. However, the committee considered that the ingress was in
a more prominent place in the lane and as such much wider, which in turn could have
a detrimental effect on the hedges and trees in the area.
It was noted that to date there had been 34 objections from members of the public.
Island Roads had given conditional approval subject to Rights of Way agreeing to
traffic crossing at the new position. However, Rights of Way maintained their original
objection and stated that they were disappointed that its concerns and reasons for
recommending refusal of the original application had not been addressed. The tree
officer had not commented on the tree survey to date.
RESOLVED:
THAT Ryde Town Council maintains its original objections agreed on 4 May
2021, namely:
Ryde Town Council objects to the application on the following grounds:
Following further information from the IWC’s Rights of Way department that
was received after the Town Council originally considered the application on
13 April 2021, members of the committee were of the view that crossing a well-
used footpath (R111) is not acceptable and the access to the property by the
proposed means should not be allowed. The proposals in this application affect
the public’s safety and their enjoyment of the footpath.
E - 11
Parish(es): Ryde Ward(s): Ryde Monktonmead
Location: Land Adjacent To 1 Prince Street, Ryde, PO33 2SE
Proposal: Partial demolition of front wall and construction of a detached house
(revised scheme).
The application was for new build on open ground at the end of the street.
Members noted that the application included details of payments to the Solent SPA,
although to date there were no details of waste storage provision and cycle storage
as outlined in the relevant Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD’).
RESOLVED:
THAT, subject to confirmation of waste and cycle storage provision, Ryde Town
Council raised no objection to the application.
The following applications were considered under delegated powers by the Chair and the
Planning, Regeneration and Environment Officer and they proposed no objections:

152/21 LICENCING APPLICATIONS
Councillors were considered the following applications:
i.
Ref: 21/01198/LAPNEW - Application for a Premises Licence - Courtside Café,
Ryde Mead Lawn Tennis Club, Church Lane, Ryde PO33 2NB.
Members considered the application for a premises licence to compliment the
existing business as well as enhance more functions for club members as well as
non-members.
All four licencing objectives had been addressed and there had been no objections
submitted from members of the public or statutory consultees.
RESOLVED:
THAT Ryde Town Council raised no objection to the application.
ii.
Ref: 21/01214/LAPVAM - Application for a Premises Licence Minor Variation -
Kasbah, Union Street, Ryde PO33 2LN.
Members were presented with a variation of licence to accommodate a new floor
plan outlining revised refurbishment to the establishment which includes a doorway
into the bar area being moved as well as a new lobby and new double doors.
This application complimented the planning application (the third application
considered under delegated powers on agenda) proposing new facias and signage
and will see the public house return to a more traditional appearance, more in
keeping with the surrounding buildings and fitting in with the conservation area.
Members noted that the Kasbah had been closed for some time and its rebranding
to the Ryde Arms should be a welcome addition to Ryde’s hospitality sector.
There had been no objections received from the public or statutory consultees.
RESOLVED:
THAT Ryde Town Council raised no objection to the application.
153/21 RYDE POSITION STATEMENT - ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE
Members were advised that to be regarded as a responsible Town Council, the Ryde
Position Statement, considered as an SPD by the IWC and thus influencing the Island
Planning Strategy, needed to be reviewed with guidance within it on how new housing
developments on the Island should have measures included to help combat the
increasing concerns created by global climate change such as the increased risk of
flooding as well as extremes in temperatures.
It was therefore agreed that a working part would be created to look at the Position
Statement as part of its annual review with a view to including observations and
suggestions around climate change and what Ryde Town Councils view would be
regarding new developments.
E - 15
154/21 PUBLIC REALM APPLICATIONS
