More calls to protect architecture
An MLC says action needs to be taken over reform to the planning system.
It's after Charles Guard's 2015 Tynwald Day petition calling for the greater protection of historic buildings failed to carry - two years after it was lodged.
David Cretney attempted unsuccessfully to form a committee on the matter when Tynwald sat last Tuesday (18 July).
The minister in charge, Geoffrey Boot, told colleagues DEFA was already looking into reforming the planning system.
Mr Cretney admits progress has been slow so far:

No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
