Company seeks public support for glamping site

A company's asking for a show of support from the public after a glamping site it wants to run in Port Erin was turned down by planners.

James Fennell Glamping was due to run the site at the village's golf club, with 10 pods for visitors and a welcome centre.

But after objections from nearby residents, it's been refused permission and the company says it'll appeal against the decision.

Stuart Owens has launched an online petition, and says he's hopeful with enough support the plans will get the green light:
