Public consultation launched
Eco-proposals could positively change government's approach to new build construction - but come at a cost to the private sector.
That's according to the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture after it launched a public consultation to help shape its approach.
The changes would look to reduce the Island's carbon footprint by making new build homes more energy efficient, airtight, and with provision for electric vehicles.
DEFA also asks what they think of laying foundations for high-speed data cabling.
Departmental member Tim Baker says opinions will go one of two ways:

Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
