Leader says there's a need to be bold
Douglas City Council says the proposed Lord Street development would provide much-needed city-centre housing for the capital.
Council representatives were among those giving evidence at this week’s Planning Committee meeting.
A planning officer’s report, which recommended refusal of the plans due to a lack of affordable housing and public open space, was rejected by the committee, but only on the casting vote of Chairman, Rob Callister.
Douglas Council Leader Devon Watson says bold decisions are needed for the site’s future:
Marown Commissioners to hold requisition meeting ahead of by-election
Onchan commissioner will stand again in 2031
Yellow warning for coastal overtopping to come into force later
Garff candidates put in 'terrible' position by windfarm advice says new MHK
