Plans for glamping site revised in the hope of a more positive response Ousted Isle of Wight councillor Richard Hollis had referred to the glamping site as looking like a ‘shanty town’, but with hopes for a more positive response second time around, revised plans have been resubmitted The size of a proposed glamping site on the edge of Newport has been more than halved in hopes it will gain approval from the Isle of Wight Council, after previously being rejected. Plans for the site on Blackwater Road, next to Newclose Cricket Ground, were refused in June last year by the council’s planning committee despite being recommended for approval by planning officers.
