Residents' views sought on draft plan for north and west

Gov't says feedback 'strongly encouraged' to resolve any issues

Residents' views are being sought on draft long-term plans to develop the north and west of the Island.

Cabinet Office has published it's draft area plan for the north and west along with a public consultation on the proposals.

Government says the scheme aims to deliver clear planning policies for housing, economic development, the environment and infrastructure in those regions.

Officials believe, if approved, the plan will 'represent an important document' to a series of areas.

These would include Ramsey and Peel as well as the district of Michael and parishes of German, Patrick, Jurby, Andreas, Bride, Ballaugh, Lezayre and Maughold.

Furthermore, government says community involvement is 'strongly encouraged' to 'resolve any outstanding or unforeseen issues' ahead of a future public inquiry.

A link to the draft plan is available HERE whilst a link to the public consultation on it is available HERE.

Meanwhile, a series of drop-in sessions will take place next month where planning officers will be available to discuss any queries about the proposals.

A list of those sessions is available below:

 

Peel — House of Manannan

  • Wednesday-Friday 13-15 July: 9.30am to 4.30pm
