Neighbourhood Planning Initiative Proposed - Would it be good for Mann?
MHK, Graham Cregeen, has written to all local authorities seeking their opinions on the UK's Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012. These encourage the concept of 'Localism' by offering the possibility that community groups can be formed to produce a 'Neighbourhood Plan' setting out the type and location of development in the area; such matters as housing provision, shops, leisure facilities, etc can be formalised and implemented. The intention in the UK is for the plans to be funded through a 'levy' of 25% on development over 100 square metres.Would such a scheme be of benefit to Garff or to the Island in general? If you'd like further information, or wish to submit a view to the Commissioners before they send comment to Mr Cregeen, please contact 422148 or maughold@manx.net. It is Mr Cregeen's intention to bring forward a Bill to Tynwald in due course.
