The Isle of Wight includes Newport, Ryde, and Ventnor. Planning focuses on sensitive coastal development, historic villages, and residential schemes.
In the last year Isle of Wight decided 821 applications which is slightly below the national average of 988. The approval rate was 91% (roughly equal to the national average of 88%) and 85% of applications were decided on time, (significantly above the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how Isle of Wight performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.
The Isle of Wight is substantially within the Solent nitrogen catchment; all new residential development must demonstrate nitrogen neutrality, with mitigation linked to schemes within the relevant operational catchment.

In addition to acting as Planing Conultants we are ARB registered architects with 25+ years of experience. We provide a full range of planning services, including:
Creative architectural design is often what secures Planning Permission where standard approaches fall short. Tell us about your project.
