b. To agree comments on application
P/00465/16 Land adjacent Meadow View, Main Road, Bouldnor: Proposed detached dwelling;
detached garage and parking.
Councillors discussed this planning application.
RESOLVED:THAT the Council has no objections to this planning application.
Residents Comments on the following application:Strong objections on the following application were made by local residents on material planning
grounds. Health concerns were raised as property was within 20 metres of this proposal and woodsmoke was more dangerous than diesel. Also raised was the increase of opening times on the
application.
It was also commented that the Planning Officer would not supply, when asked, details of the
proposed pizza oven but on the scaled drawings it appeared large.
P/00463/16 West Wight Alpacas, land accessed off, Main Road, Wellow: Single storey side
extension to caf to provide solid fuel oven.
Councilors had a lengthy discussion on this planning application and concerns were raised.
RESOLVED:THAT Shalfleet Parish Council strongly objects to this planning application on the following
grounds:This planning proposal is an inappropriate site development and out of keeping with the area.
On the grounds of Environmental Health. The proposal to put a wood-burning stove with a Kw output
of 34 that consumes large quantities of wood per hour to cook pizzas will lead to the production of
harmful omissions which contain minute carcinogenic particles that lodge in peoples lungs from a
burning-wood stove of this size.
This is a well-documented fact and we are surprised there is no Environmental report from the
Council's Environment Health Officer as to the effect of the omissions on the air quality of that area
and the type of omissions from this proposal. There is a potential damage to the health of residents
residing in the locality.
This type of development is more appropriate to be sited on an industrial site and not in a small village
which will cause increase in traffic for the delivery of a substantial amount of wood that will be
required to run the oven.
The opening and closing times on this application are wrong and we object to the times stated and
request that the opening times comply with what has already been granted by the Isle of Wight

Council.
The design of the building is totally inappropriate it is unsightly and is out of keeping and detrimental
to properties nearby and is visibly intrusive. The hedge is not high enough or dense enough to act as a
screen as stated in the planning application.
An oven with a KW output of 34 can produce 180 pizzas an hour is this a back door application to a
take away?
This is the wrong type of development in this location and ask that the planning committee refuse this
application.
c. Planning Enforcement To Discuss and decide whether Shalfleet PC agrees with the
Discretionary Service Support Proposal for IWC Planning Enforcement
The Council discussed the proposal from IWALC and felt this was totally different from what they had
been asked to support previously.
RESOLVED:-That the Council would not support this recent proposal from IWALC as it was not to employ
an additional Environmental Officer as in the previous proposal and that the Clerk would notify
IWALC of their decision.
