A long-running row about how planning permission was granted to a development in Ballasalla came to its conclusion this week.
In Tynwald, a select committee presented its report into the Poacher’s Pocket – recommending limiting the director of planning’s delegated powers.
The court voted unanimously to approve the changes, which means interested parties will now get more of a say in future planning disputes.

Three-week road closure for gas main works
Public expectations for high street services 'a contradiction'
Info Commissioner partially upholds terminal complaint
MGP organisers ACU respond to accusations of 'hollow promises' following rider's death
