Planning
Planning plays a vital role in shaping the future of our community, and this page is designed to help residents understand access the process works at a local level.
While the Town Council is consulted on planning applications and provides comments reflecting local views, the Isle of Wight Council, as the local unitary authority is the statutory planning authority responsible for making all formal decisions.
Our aim is to support residents by highlighting applications that may affect the Town.
The Isle of Wight Council planning register shows planning applications made since February 2004. It includes any appeals and tree works applications. You can also comment on current applications using the planning register. This can be accessed online using Application search, view and comment
Details of recent Planning Applications and decisions relating to property in Sandown are detailed below for your convenience. All applications are considered by the Town Councils Planning Committee at the next meeting. Details of the meetings can be found on the Committees Webpage:

Licencing
Sandown Town Council is consulted on a range of licencing proposals — including premises licences, street trading, and temporary event notices — and uses its local insight to reflect the views and priorities of the town.
However, the Isle of Wight Council is the statutory licencing authority. It is responsible for administering the licencing framework, assessing applications, enforcing relevant legislation, and making all formal decisions.
This page informs residents of the applications being considered by the Planning Committee.
To view details of the application and to submit any representations, please click on the link below to access the relevant Isle of Wight Councils page
Please note that when determining an application for a pavement licence the licencing authority can only consider comments relating to the following:
- Public health and safety – including security and crowd management measures in relation to social distancing.
- Public amenity – if the proposed use is likely to create nuisance or anti- social behaviour to neighbouring occupiers.
- Accessibility – considerations under the national ‘no-obstruction’ condition particularly in relation to the needs of disabled people, but also taking into account any other temporary measures in place such as, reallocation of road space, existing fixed structures that already reduce access, social distancing measures such as queuing systems or if there are already a high level of users of the space for example pedestrian or cycle movements
