Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.

Frequently asked on the Isle of Wight
How wide does an infill plot need to be?
There is no fixed figure; it depends on the street. A plot that allows a home similar in width to its neighbours, with space to the sides, is a good start.
Will my neighbours be consulted?
Yes. The council consults neighbours on planning applications, and their comments are considered alongside policy.
Is Shanklin too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 136 miles from Shanklin, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Shanklin?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
