Onchan MHK 'shocked' at high number of applications
An MHK believes something needs to be done to address the high number of planning enforcement cases on the Island.
Onchan member David Quirk said he was 'shocked' to hear the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is dealing with more than 150 applications.
DEFA Minister Richard Ronan revealed the figure after being questioned in the House of Keys last week.
Mr Quirk insists a fairer system is needed:
