Isle of Wight College is consulting, via planning consultants Vail Williams, on plans for new facilities.

The following is taken from information provided by Vail Williams…

______

The proposed development is for the demolition of existing 1950s College buildings and replacing them with a modern consolidated facility to accommodate programmes for Electrical Installation, Travel & Tourism, Public Services, Performing Arts, Hospitality and Sports and Fitness departments.

The new facility building will bring a focus to the campus and provide a main entrance, ‘Welcome Hub’ and dining refectory forming the heart of the site.

Following pre-application discussions with planning officers, the development team have now arranged for a public information website to be shared. This will give local residents the opportunity to find out more and make comment upon the emerging proposals.

If you are unable to view this website and would like to see a copy of the consultation boards, please contact: Ben Christian – 02380 820900 – solentplanning@vailwilliams.com

There will be a further opportunity to provide a formal response to the proposals once a planning application has been submitted later this year.
