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 792 applications which is slightly below the national average of 980. The approval rate was 92% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 85% of applications were decided on time, (significantly above the national average of 59%).
