Island Planning Strategy
What is the Island Planning Strategy?
We are preparing a new local plan called the Island Planning Strategy. This is to replace the Island Plan Core Strategy.
The Island Planning Strategy (IPS) is a plan for development on the island over the next 15 years. The Council consults the local community to help develop the plan.
We have published our ‘submission version’ of the Island Planning Strategy, for 6 weeks. You can comment from Monday 8 July 2024 until midnight on Monday 19 August 2024.

What happens next

The Secretary of State will then appoint an independent Planning Inspector. They will carry out the public examination of the plan, evidence base and comments made.
