Peel
The changes have proved controversial with Glenfaba & Peel MHK Kate Lord-Brennan opposing the plans to zone greenfield sites in Peel for development.
Adopt
When the consultation closes the Cabinet Office will consider all representations received before considering whether to ‘adopt’ the plan. The Area Plan will only come into operation after being approved by Tynwald.
The inspector’s report remains available online at the public inquiry website, where other documents and information dealt with during inquiry sessions can also be accessed. Alternatively, the inspector’s report can be viewed in hard copy at Cabinet Office reception, third floor, Government Office, Bucks Road, Douglas.
