Minister Overrules Planning Committee

Plans to build 10 houses in Jurby have won the support of a government minister.

Geoffrey Boot has overruled a planning committee recommendation against it.

But he has imposed some conditions.

The application is from Jenson Ltd and is for new terraced homes in Palm Court and Jurby Garage.

Among the conditions imposed by Mr Boot, is that the application for full approval must be made to his department within two years.

The company must also be prepared to deal with any potential contamination in the area.
