Meeting shines spotlight on proposals
Island residents have pushed concerns over long-term development on green field sites up the political agenda.
An audience of around 70 members of the public, MHKs and local authority members debated planning policy at a Positive Action Group meeting at the Manx Legion Club last night (27 March).
On the agenda was the controversial area plan for the east, which has earmarked more than 200 sites for potential housing and business development.
The government's Head of Planning Policy Diane Brown assured the meeting nothing had been decided yet, and confirmed residents have an extra month to submit comments to a public consultation.
The new deadline for submissions is Friday 26 May.
These residents told us key issues are now out in the open:
Hopes new Vaping Products Duty won't be 'too dramatic' for Manx customers
VAT cut from electricity bill
Tributes paid to former MHK and MLC
CoC outlines three priorities for new government
