Government currently consulting on Strategic Plan
Towns outside of Douglas could be set to grow as government reassesses its planning policies.
It was recently announced that the Strategic Plan - a document which gives rules and guidance to planners - is to be reviewed.
The current plan focusses on developing properties in and around the Island's capital.
But Ethan Grubb, a senior planning officer within Cabinet Office, says this review could give government an opportunity to develop other communities:
Work underway to remove asbestos from former Golf Links Hotel
Police raise welfare concerns about vehicle occupant
New EV charging points planned for Island's ports
Campaigners against offshore windfarm proposals hit out at 'undemocratic' process
Visitors told to prepare for new ETA rules
