(Pictures: Google Maps and Andrew Neale) PLANS to build 70 houses in Shalfleet were presented to the parish council on Wednesday night but met with mixed reactions. The proposed development, comprising of two, three and four bed-houses, would be built on land behind the recently completed Burt Close. Presenting the latest phase of development to Shalfleet Parish Council, Simon Jacobs, explained the site had been in his family for nearly 30 years, after his parents bought Shalfleet Manor. He said: We are looking to create a legacy so that longstanding Shalfleet families, their children and grandchildren, can continue to live, work and bring up their families in Shalfleet.

Islanders in the village of Cranmore are said to be devastated and were close to tears after they witnessed around 70 mature oak trees being ripped down - without permission.
During the last weekend of April (24,25), residents in Cranmore, which is a village three miles east of Yarmouth, were “visibly distressed” - as the felling was carried out in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - at Silver Glades Caravan Park.
