Public inquiry on Bride housing scheme

Potential development at a beauty spot in the north of the Isle of Man will be discussed at a public inquiry today (Thursday).

Plans to build up to 27 new houses in Bride will be discussed at Ramsey Town Hall.

The one-day inquiry, organised by the chief secretary's office, follows a public consultation earlier this year which received very few responses, most of which were in favour of the scheme.

The government says new homes will meet a need for affordable housing in the north.

Start time for inquiry: 9.30am.
