Minister's statement to Tynwald members
A senior government minister says there's lots to be done in the reform of the planning system on the Island.
Chris Thomas made a statement on the matter to Tynwald yesterday (15 May), with the Area Plan for the East due to be published later this month.
Mr Thomas admits the number of brownfield sites is high, but says there's a wider range of issues to focus on:
