DURING an exclusive tour around Norris Castle in East Cowes, the County Press was given a first glimpse at the historic site, ahead of plans being submitted to the Isle of Wight Council.
As revealed by the County Press in February last year, developers Uavend plan to turn the childhood retreat of Queen Victoria into a luxury boutique hotel.
See tomorrow's County Press for pictures from the tour and a report on the master plan, which includes other developments and access routes, a point of concern during public consultations last year.

& amp;lt;div>Plans for the site have evolved over the last 18 months as public consultations, visibility studies and ecological and historical surveys have taken place.
