Plans to install 45 beach hut-style cabins in Peel have been withdrawn.

A local businessman who wanted to build pop-up accommodation on Peel Promenade has criticised government opposition to the plans as ‘unhelpful’.

Duke Events Ltd has withdrawn its planning application for a ‘Sunset Village’ on the site of the former swimming pool on Marine Parade.

It had wanted to install 45 en-suite cabins, like those used for the TT pop-up village, for the summer.

The Manx government has been invited to respond.
