The local authority had objected to the initial application highlighting concerns around the sewage treatment works and the lack of walking and cycling links to the schools.
Chair Christine Moughtin says she received 'lots' of inquiries from residents about the development.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper went to Peel to speak to her and some of those concerned:
Island's finances 'in a better position than most other jurisdictions'
Completion of assisted dying bill 'the most significant moment of 2025'
Keep dogs away from Garwick Beach for next few days
Cost of sending a letter on the Island to increase in January
