  • Seaview Conservation Area Character Appraisal
    Directorate of Regeneration Interim Director Bernadette Marjoram Seaview Conservation Area Appraisal Adopted 3 September 2007 Conservation & Design Planning Services 01983 823552 [email protected] www.iwight.com/conservation Contents Introduction 1 Seaview Conservation Area Revision Appraisal Area 1 ’The Historic Core’ 2 - 6 Area 2 ‘The Outskirts’ 7 – 9 Area 3 ‘Residential’ 10 - 12 www.iwight.com/conservation Adopted 3 September 2007 Seaview Conservation Area Appraisal Introduction Local Planning Authorities have a duty under The Planning (Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to designate as conservation areas any areas considered to be of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to protect or enhance. The Character Area boundaries are inevitably subjective in complex environments, and are based not only on architectural, land-use or historic attributes, but on the dynamic experience of walking or driving through an area. Map based boundaries are taken into consideration, but sensational qualities such as the awareness of enclosure or openness and degrees of noise and activity are also important in defining edges to Character Areas and the Conservation Area. In coastal areas, the boundaries may follow the line of the mean low water mark which is the extent of the jurisdiction of the Council and so is used for consistency. The legislation also makes provision for schemes to enhance the area, so the inclusion of areas of potential allows for schemes to be put forward which will improve the Area in keeping with its own individual character, and to the same high standard. Designation does not mean that development cannot take place within the proposed Conservation Area or within its setting.

  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement
    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

  • Isle of Wight Council Brownfield Land Register – Part 1 Maps
    Isle of Wight Council Brownfield Land Register – Part 1 Maps - December 2018 Isle of Wight Council Brownfield Register Maps 2018 2 Isle of Wight Council Brownfield Register Maps 2018 1. Introduction 1.1. In 2017 a new duty was placed on local planning authorities to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously developed land (brownfield land) which is suitable for residential development. The register had to be published by 31 December 2017 and should be reviewed at least once each year. 1.2. The register, known as the Brownfield Land Register comprises a standard set of information, prescribed by the Government that will be kept up-to-date, and made publicly available. The purpose of the register is to provide certainty for developers and communities and encourage investment in local areas. The registers will then be used to monitor the Government’s commitment to the delivery of brownfield sites. 1.3. The register must be kept in two parts: 1.3.1 Part 1 will include all sites which meet the definition of previously developed land1 and are 0.25 hectares or more in size or capable of accommodating at least 5 dwellings. They must also meet the Government's criteria, set out in paragraph (1) of Regulation 42 setting out that sites must be suitable, available and achievable for residential development. 1.3.2 Part 2 allows the council to select sites from Part 1 and grant Permission in Principle (PIP) for housing-led development, after undertaking necessary requirements for publicity, notification and consultation. More information can be found in the National Planning Practice Guidance 1.3.
