Your probably right but JPandP used to be Coasters and didnt think it was part of Clinch's back in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has one serious property portfolio over here . Doesn't he own the two buildings between Portofino and The Railway too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can tell by the steel fencing around Saddle Mews and the general grubby neglected state of the complex in typical Raj fashion. Just like every other shocking bomb site he seems to own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Planning has always been suspect on the Island, unexplained decisions etc. If Newsons is unsafe it should be dropped. The owner has now done a flounce, and who can blame him, and it it up for resale as of today. No doubt someone who has a face that fits will buy it and be granted permission to build a 6000 ft skyscraper with neon flashing lights and apartments to house 100 people, or something similar. It has always been the case why change the habit of a lifetime. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Some things are worth saving some things are not and at this moment of time this building is an eyesore. It is unsafe so should be dropped, whatever replaces it should be designed with the harbour area in mind and this will be the sticking point as obviously viability to profitability enters the equation. The Castle Mona is a great building with loads of history but it’s fate is looking grim it very much looks as if it being left to rot, now that is a shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The business pages of LinkedIn are awash with negatives about doing business here and the folly of this decision. The commentators are CEO, managing director type of level. How the hell they are going to grow the population with vibrant, economically active young people with decisions like this is beyond me. Government are bloody stupid ! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Looks like any local with no experience can sit on planning & make these major decisions https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/planning/new-members-sought-for-planning-committee-565423 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
