The Isle of Wight has no Green Belt, but the Isle of Wight National Landscape covers much of the coast and downland. Housing is concentrated around Newport, Ryde, Cowes and East Cowes, Sandown and Shanklin, with many villages elsewhere. Typical sites are edge-of-town fields, infill plots, former holiday or commercial premises and farm buildings, with coastal change and ground instability relevant on parts of the coast.
Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Shanklin
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 136 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
