Quote from local Appley and Elmfield Councillor Michael Lilley’s website, posted 26/3/2023:

It is hard to keep up with everything in the Ward and things I am involved in. Planning issues of Pennyfeathers and West Acre Park continue to dominate Ryde Appley and Elmfield and are long way off finding resolution and updates are below.

A good link/source to the many things I am involved in is On the Wight which keeps a record of Isle of Wight activities that my name pops up in – Michael Lilley (onthewight.com)

West Acre Park

On the 21^st March 2023, after 20 months since the meeting of the 21^st July 2021, the West Acre Park application came back to IW Planning Committee. It has now been deferred by the IW Planning Committee to its 25^th April 2023 due to confusion, an error and the introduction of the word “entirety” by planning officers.
