Purpose

The SPD has proven to be an excellent document
when considering applications within the town centres of Newport
and Ryde, and has resulted in clear and beneficial outcomes.
However, it is limited to only apply to these two town centres. The
report will seek agreement to amend the existing SPD so it applies
more widely across the island, to then consult on these changes in
accordance with the relevant regulations and then, dependant on the
outcome of the consultation to adopt the revised SPD.
