The Isle of Wight Council has received a revised planning application for four houses on the outskirts of Newport.

Mr I. Morey's proposed development would be on land next to Buckbury Lane and would include parking as well as access for vehicles.

Revisions to the plans include a terrace and garage, according to a planning document put together by Macaire Associates.

Highway service Island Roads has not objected to the revised proposal but recommended the development does not begin until the council receives a Construction Management Plan (CMP), an important document setting out information about a construction project which can be referred to by local authorities and other stakeholders.

Island Roads' Highway Report from August 29 stated the CMP must include plans for avoiding material being placed on Buckbury Lane as a result of development site operations.

Development control manager Neil Troughton's report stated that wheel cleaning facilities relating to the development's construction would need to be used and installed.

He added any material deposits on the highway from the construction site would need to be removed as soon as "practicable" by the "site operator".

Another feature of the CMP should include: "The parking, loading, unloading, circulation and turning of all construction vehicles to include for operative vehicles within the confines of the site throughout the build process."

Mr Troughton's report explained the submission of a CMP would be needed for "highway safety" and to avoid "mud and dust" collecting on the highway.

Buckbury Lane resident Martin Roberts commented: "After carefully reviewing the planned development, which was to consider the layout and amount of dwellings, I've concluded that this is actually tastefully done and pleased it has included a couple of two bedroom properties and not just high end houses unaffordable to most, including elderly couples which this may attract.

"Not often are there positive comments, however, I am in favour of this small development."
