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:
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
So what needs to happen to regenerate Peel's high street?
Job Centre unable to reliably identify duplicate vacancies
Minister says generic listings can make duplication difficult to identify
Airport warns high winds could impact flights
Passengers urged to allow extra time for travel
Bus talks to continue over festive season
Minister questioned over possibility of NYE disruption
