Asthehills Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 13 minutes ago, Gladys said: Most of the demolition sites around Douglas have had detailed development plans drawn up. Most of those development sites remain undeveloped. Yes, since long before there was a government incentive to crack on. Most of them now have detailed plans drawn up under the new brownfield development scheme for which applications only closed a couple of months ago, and are now being considered. The ones eligible will be announced in the coming months and so then progress should be made. At least two of them will be going soon even without that additional funding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why do government promote them? Because loosely speaking government is in the pocket of the builders, and of course the greenfield landowners. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownfield development is subject to significant grants which are being determined as we speak. What greenfield development is being promoted by government out of interest?

Why as a company would they be livid with that decision if they had government in their pockets ffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice answer when someone had no response to a perfectly valid question in response to some made up nonsense you posted with nothing to back it up. Straight in with the insults rather than a reasoned response. Well done you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any postable links or sources to corroborate any of the above please because I haven't seen any press releases, Govt or otherwise to confirm, nor any "chatter" around the building industry to support. Genuine question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 The Mafia would struggle to compete with our snivel service! I'm surprised that the Newson's building wasn't brought up? They have pulled out all the stops, at great expense I may add, to protect a crumbling, ugly, uneconomic building. All they have succeeded in doing is piss off a developer who could have helped to solve a lot of the issues around the island. This has resulted in another eyesore, where there could now be a nice multi use building. As usual, the 'powerful' idiots enjoy threatening behaviour, in the belief that their 'high office' will protect them. Twats, one and all! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you don’t really need to be a genius to guess the developments will start after the grants have been allocated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
