A long-running row about how planning permission was granted to a development in Ballasalla came to its conclusion this week.

The court voted unanimously to approve the changes, which means interested parties will now get more of a say in future planning disputes.
Committee Chairman and Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan (pictured) says he believes the report was fair to all sides:
