Welcome to Yarmouth Town Council

The former Yarmouth CE Primary School closed at the end of 2022 and the premises and associated land is being marketed by the Isle of Wight Council. Yarmouth Town Council successfully applied to register the property as an Asset of Community value, details of which can be found here: AVC.

A Steering Group was formed with the aim of retaining the site as a community educational resource for generations to come; Yarmouth Town Council and the Group have been consulting with residents about suggested uses for the site and those suggestions have formed the basis of a sealed bid to IWC for purchase of the site via a Community Land Trust. More details can be found here, including an update about latest developments: https://www.yarmouthtowncouncil.co.uk/yarmouth-school-site-sale/

Yarmouth Town Council is considering producing a Neighbourhood plan which is hoped will give the Council more control over local developments. VOLUNTEERS ARE SOUGHT  FOR A STEERING GROUP, so if you would like to participate, please contact the Clerk at ytc1135@gmail.com. More details can be found on the Neighbourhood Plan web page  https://www.yarmouthtowncouncil.co.uk/neighbourhood-plan/

The following planning application has been submitted for the Yarmouth area, and any comments should be made online to IWC at by 3/11/23:
