In January 2009 the Village Design Statement was formally presented to Freshwater Parish Council at their monthly
meeting by David Lewis who co-ordinated the project.
The presentation was the culmination of two years of very hard work by David and his wife Jane, members of the
Freshwater Village Association and Freshwater Parish Council. The bulk of the work, the background research, walking
the streets doing a buidling census, taking photographs and the compilation and design of the document fell on David
and Jane.
The Village Design Statement is an important document, once adopted by the Isle of Wight Council it will act as a
statutory planning document for future building development in Freshwater. It also has historical importance as it
is a snapshot of the Parish in 2007 and the opinions of the residents.
The images on the right, from top to bottom, are of the front cover of the Village Design Statement, Jane with the
bouquet and canvas presented to her and David at the formal presentation with the Chairman of the Parish Council,
Gill Kennett.
