This Habitat Action Plan has been prepared through consultation with a range of organisations and specialists within the Isle of Wight BAP Partnership. It was first produced in 2008 anf reviewed in 2008. Lowland meadows have been selected as a habitat action plan for the Isle of Wight to ensure that national objectives for this priority habitat identified under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan are translated into effective action on the Island, taking into account local issues.

The Isle of Wight Council's Local Transport Plans (LTP) sets out the framework for the development of a sustainable transport strategy on the Isle of Wight.

Our first LTP was adopted in 2001 and covers the years 2001 to 2006 and the second, LTP2, runs from 2006 to 2011.

For further information about the Local Transport Plan, please see www.iwight.com/transport

The intent of the project is to upgrade and improve sustainable transport infrastructure, travel information, and promote the sustainable transport network in order to grow the Island’s increasingly popular green tourism market. 

The Local Government Ombudsman has issued a report following her investigation of a complaint against Isle of Wight Council.  The complaint was about a planning and development matter.  The Ombudsman found that injustice had been caused by maladministration on the part of Isle of Wight Council.  Isle of Wight Council has agreed to take action which the Ombudsman regards as providing a satisfactory remedy for the complaint.

The national Council Tax Benefit (CTB) scheme ended 31 March 2013 and was replaced by a locally determined system of Council Tax Support (CTS). The funding made available by Government for the new scheme was reduced initially by 10% nationally and cash limited with further reductions each year expected through the financial settlement. The aim of the support scheme is to provide financial assistance to council taxpayers who have low incomes. Persons who are of state pension credit qualifying age are protected under the scheme in that the calculation of the support they are to receive has been set by Central Government. For working age applicants however the support they receive on the Isle of Wight is to be determined by the Council.







The level of financial assistance for the scheme to be provided by Central Government has continued to reduce compared the level provided under the former Council Tax Benefit scheme. In order to fully or partly meet this funding gap the Council has had to review the previous CTS scheme provided to consider whether the scheme should continue or change in relation to the council tax support paid to working age claimants.







This completed EIA sets out the review considerations in providing the final Council Tax Support scheme for 2020/21 following the Council decisions of 20/11/2019 to provide a scheme during 2020/21.  The scheme will change, and this EIA review has been updated.
