Westridge Farm West Acre Park housing before Isle of Wight Council

The application to build on the farm in Ryde was granted in July last year by the Isle of Wight Council, despite petitions, community and councillor opposition.

While the authority's planning committee has given the nod for the application to happen, final details have yet to be determined and so the official permission for the Captiva Homes development has not yet been given.

• Westridge Farm developers say "we are Islanders and we are responsible"

Further calls have now been made from within County Hall to stop the development and reconsider the application.

The new motion submitted by Cllr Chris Jarman, who voted against the development in July, is asking for formal issuing of the planning permission to be paused and the application re-considered as soon as practicable.

If successful, the motion could see the development rejected.

Last month, Cllr Claire Critchison submitted a motion at a planning committee meeting after concerns were raised by residents over the way the July meeting was conducted.

The motion was withdrawn, however, after the farming family who operates Westridge Farm, the Hollidays, said they had no fight left and would leave their home, after 55 years, if the official planning permission was issued by the end of October.

In a statement, the family said: "We are truly sorry we cannot go on fighting, we can only take so much ... we are broken and have simply had enough."

Protestors outside of County Hall before the decision was made.

Council officers have previously said the West Acre Park scheme should be approved.

With the Island failing to meet government-set planning targets, the council has to presume in favour of development unless there is something materially wrong with the application.

The decision to refuse the application would also have to be able to withstand any potential review by the government's Planning Inspectorate, should an appeal be lodged against the outcome by the developers Captiva Homes.
