Ideas for preservation of historic buildings discussed
Demolition should be regarded as development by planners to better protect the Island’s historic buildings.
That’s what the Tynwald Committee on Built Heritage has been told today (9 January).
Researcher Dr Andrew Martin, from Oxford University says it would help preserve vernacular structures of all types from being pulled down.
The Island resident says Manx practice should reflect that happening in some areas of the UK:
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
Manx Utilities classifies all pensioners as vulnerable people
Drone users reminded not to fly devices during Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix course closures
Those breaching restriction could face prosecution and a fine of up to £10,000
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
FOI revealed the Island spent more than £170,000 on influencers
Public urged to consult on capacity
Views wanted on new code of practice
