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).

The Island resident says Manx practice should reflect that happening in some areas of the UK:
