About this application

This is a planning application at Land Adjacent Morrisons Petrol Station Newport Road Lake Sandown Isle Of Wight PO36 9PA. Isle of Wight has handled 12,897 applications of this type. This one was decided in 40 days, 2 weeks quicker than Isle of Wight's typical decision time. The site is in a conservation area. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 913 applications in total for the PO36 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed illuminated EV advertisement due to its height and illumination along with the siting would form a visually dominating, overtly prominent and discordant feature that would be inappropriate for its location which would result in unacceptable harm to the character and visual amenity of the area and as such, would not accord with Policies DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) and DM11 (Historic and Built Environment) of the Island Plan Core Strategy, The National Planning Policy Framework and The Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
