Planners put things on hold for a fortnight
Planners have chosen to delay a decision on an application by developer Dandara to build almost 300 homes in Ballasalla.
The planning committee will now consider the plans in two weeks' time.
It also delayed making a decision on an application for approval in principle to construct a new estate near to the Golden Meadow Mill in Castletown.
The committee did today approve plans which will see the Island get the first 24-hour pizza vending machine in the British Isles.
