Views are being sought on the latest proposals to streamline the Isle of Man’s planning system and make it easier for people to use.
The consultation invites public feedback on plans to improve the planning process for property owners and boost protection for the island’s built heritage.
This includes a Definitions of Development Order that specifies the most common home improvements that do, or don’t, require planning approval.
This is separate, but complementary, to the review of Permitted Development, which is also being consulted on.
New Planning Proposals
The new proposals would also update the Registered Building Regulations that align with a new process for applying for planning approval, which come into force next month.
The changes form part of the Built Environment Reform Programme’s commitments to ensure detailed and accurate applications, a proportionate appeals system and to increase the small scale/routine activity that can be undertaken without a planning application.
The 12-week consultation can be found on the consultation hub.
