Discussions continue over new hotel for Langness

Government and interested parties have been consulting over £20 million hotel plans for the Langness Peninsula.

The former Castletown Golf Links Hotel site is the subject of designs being drawn-up by a London-based architect and site owners, construction firm, Dandara.

An initial consultation has already taken place - and the company insists stakeholders are expressing an interest for the area to be redeveloped as soon as possible.

The Southern Area Plan dictates that the site could become a hotel if it's 'commercially viable to do so'.

A Dandara spokesperson says for that to be the case it needs to be accompanied by residential development.

A planning application for the project is expected to be submitted later this year.
