Amendments in place from today
Making the whole system better is the aim of a series of changes to how planning applications are submitted.
From today, minor change applications, flood risk assessments at the outset, and fees for requesting an inquiry will all be introduced.
It's hope this will make the process clearer and more accessible.
Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Geoffrey Boot says these are the alterations the public has asked for:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
