People who have issues with planning will now be able to have their voices heard.
The Department of Infrastructure is changing the way planning committee meetings are run – introducing a ‘public speaking scheme’.
The changes mean the public will be able to address the meetings in person.
It’s in an effort to make the process more open – at present meetings are open to the public however only written comments are considered.
Director of planning and building control Michael Galllagher told us what the changes mean:
Repairs on Peel Power Station to get underway
Manx Care doctor survey to be discussed by Tynwald
Weather warning for snow tonight
MHK queries safety at primary school in Ballabeg
Gales put two ferry sailings at risk tonight
Should the Island throw a birthday party for Barry Gibb?
Warning issued over icy roads
High ground could see 4 inches of snow on Saturday night
