The proposed new development West Acre Park in Ryde. THE newly approved housing scheme in Ryde will set a new benchmark for housing on the Island, according to its developers. The Isle of Wight Council Planning Committee decided today (Tuesday) to give the green light to Captiva Homes to build 473 new homes, a GP surgery, cafe and open space on Westridge Farm, in Elmfield. Of the 473 homes, 166 will be affordable 71 per cent of those rented, while 307 will be at market price. A campaign had been started to stop the development and save the farm, allowing the current tenant farmers, the Holliday family, to continue farming for another generation, but in a head versus heart decision, the council voted for the greater good by providing the affordable housing.
