Residents petition for requsition meeting
A public meeting's being held in Peel tonight (30 Nov) after local residents raised concern over a new housing development on the outskirts of town.
Dandara Homes Ltd has been granted planning permission for 24 properties on a green field site off the Poortown Road
The developer has now revised its plans, and now wants to build almost double that number, 49 smaller properties instead.
A requisition meeting was called by Peel Commissioners who have deferred their response, after residents raised a petition.
It will be held in Corrin Hall in Peel at 7.30pm.
A planning officer will be at tonight's meeting to explain how the planning process works, while Commissioners' clerk Derek Sewell will outline the authority's stance.
Mr Sewell says they want information on three key areas:
Skills Strategy hopes to tackle 'significant' skills shortage
Loganair to remove Saturday service to Birmingham
Trial for Douglas man who denies keying car
Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Future of Belfast flights 'precarious' due to low passenger numbers
