Question marks are hanging over a Nettlestone housing development after double yellow lines were refused.
Thirty objections to plans for the restrictions on Seaview Lane were received by the Isle of Wight Council - from residents worried they would lose their on-street parking.
Nettlestone and Seaview Parish Council argued having cars parked there helps slow down traffic.
With parking a problem in the village, it said the removal of the 19 spaces would be heavily felt.
The proposed yellow lines were for an already approved housing development on Gibb Well Field and were a condition of its planning permission.
Developer, SGJ Bloombridge, was required to have the parking restrictions in place before any building work for 17 properties could take place.
The condition was imposed, despite the provision of 20 spaces within the development, promised for the use of Nettlestone Primary School.
Rules have only just changed, which means the development’s future is not certain.
Only last week, a new policy was approved that said if on-street parking is lost, it must be replaced nearby.
Both the principle that means lost parking must be replaced and the development’s yellow lines proposal were discussed, back to back, at the same meeting.
The double yellow lines were rejected after Cllr Phil Jordan, cabinet member for highways and infrastructure, told the cabinet meeting the council could not replace the lost parking spaces, if the double yellow lines were introduced on Seaview Lane.
Cllr Jordan argued another proposed development could bring a new crossing and five fewer spaces.
Cabinet members agreed and went against officers’ recommendations, rejecting the proposals.
