Plans to build nine new homes on a field in Wootton Bridge have been given the go-ahead by the Isle of Wight Council. The development, next to 115 Station Road, will include nine three-bedroom properties, a new vehicle access and landscaping. The council says the scheme would be appropriate for the site and its surroundings, while also helping to address local demand for housing. Wootton Bridge Parish Council previously pointed out that the plans do not include any one- or two-bedroom properties, despite those being identified as the greatest local housing need. However, planning officers said the area's housing needs assessment also identified demand for three-bedroom homes.
