Peter is an Associate Partner within our Oxford office. He has worked in public sector planning for a number of years and has been involved in the preparation, scrutiny and adoption of Local Plans, the consideration of planning applications and acted as expert witness in appeals. Since joining Carter Jonas, Peter has represented a variety of clients (including large scale developers, universities and public sector bodies) at Development Control Order (DCO) hearings, planning appeal inquiries and Local Plan Examinations in Public.

Isle of Wight Council is preparing the ‘Island Planning Strategy’ – a new Local Plan which when adopted will replace the currently adopted development plan. The Island Planning Strategy will guide development on the island over the next 15 years.  

Isle of Wight Council have conducted the following public consultations to date:

 Preparations  Ongoing
 Draft plan consultation (Regulation 18)  July 2021
Pre-Submission consultation  LIVE
 Examination in public  December 2024 (estimate)
 Adoption  October 2025

 

The Council is now consulting on a ‘Pre-Submission’ version of its emerging Island Planning Strategy, which sets out the Council’s preferred spatial strategy and policies – including the protection of unique natural assets, the management of public services with a growing population, and the ‘under-delivery’ of market housing and affordable homes. This is likely to form the final stage of consultation before the emerging plan is submitted for Examination. 

The deadline for submission is midnight on Monday 19 August.
