The town and parish councils of Lake, Sandown and Shanklin, in partnership with the Isle of Wight Council, have formally launched the Bay Area Place Plan at a public meeting in Sandown.
The 98-page report comprises three main sections: principles and values, spatial strategy and themes and topics, including highlighting potential investment and civic opportunities for the three Bay area communities.
It also showcases data and feedback from the three-day think space delivered by Feria and Storii which saw residents and local businesses come together to share their visions for the future of the area.
The place plan sets out its aims and objectives that focus around engagement and empowerment, strategic thinking, economic growth, infrastructure investment, quality of life for residents and visitors, and securing funds.
Laura Cansdale, area and town centre regeneration programme manager, said:
“We know from experience elsewhere on the Island that the place planning approach can help attract investment and deliver positive results for local communities.
"I’m really looking forward to seeing what we can achieve across Sandown, Lake and Shanklin as we work together on this new place plan.”
A joint statement from the town and parish councils of Lake, Sandown and Shanklin says:
“We're delighted to publish this plan as it reflects extensive feedback from our communities, gathered at the public sessions last summer.
“We particularly like the concept of “urban acupuncture” which demonstrates how a network of small interventions can help make a big impact!
“This plan is a launch pad for the town and parish councils and our communities, to work together, to deliver projects, to bring about the changes we want to see.”
