Haywood wants to respect 'independence' of planning system
The infrastructure minister has refused to comment on plans to redevelop Lord Street in Douglas.
Michelle Haywood told the House of Keys this week (25 February) she wanted to respect the ‘independence of the planning system’.
A planning application – submitted in May last year – is currently under consideration.
If approved a mixed-use development – including apartments, office space, a multi-screen cinema complex and restaurants – could be built on the site behind the bus station.
The minister's stance didn’t stop Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse asking questions:
Revised plans for Lord Street bus station development
Consultation for new National Infrastructure Safety Bill
Steam Packet cancels Friday evening sailings
"Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital is not at risk of closure"
