Peel Commissioners says it’s ‘disappointing’ that the former cabinet office minister didn’t speak to them about the amount of land zoned for residential development in the Draft North and West Area Plan.
Kate Lord-Brennan, MHK for Glenfaba and Peel, who oversaw the plan until she resigned at the end of last year, said the local authority had submitted this land to the consultation.
The local authority claims its submissions and responses are public, whilst Ms Lord-Brennan has stated she will be voting against it when it gets to Tynwald.
Peel Commissioner Alan Jones says the board has offered her an ‘open invite’ to speak to them directly about the matter.
He also said the board asked the consultation and inquiry into the plan for this land to be designated as ‘strategic reserves’ so it could be saved for the future when other sites had been developed.
