A political member in the Department of Infrastructure has dismissed criticism of the Island’s planning system from the Chief Minister.
Last week, Allan Bell MHK said the whole procedure needed revamping to make sure it protects the Manx economy.
But Chris Thomas MHK, who is responsible for housing, says the Island’s system has already undergone a transformation.
And he says Mr Bell’s outburst was little more than a tantrum:
