Plans approved for Douglas this week
The approval of plans to build 109 apartments on a site in Douglas has been welcomed by the Department for Enterprise.
The minister says Dandara Homes' proposals on Lake Road will see an 'underutilised and derelict area' turned into a 'vibrant residential site'.
Tim Johnston says it contributes towards aims of building 1,000 additional homes on the Island by 2026.
The project has been, in part, supported by the Island Infrastructure Scheme.

Currently an unused carpark the site earmarked for the apartments is adjacent to the River Douglas.
It's the second brownfield site in the capital to receive planning approval this year.
In April plans were approved to redevelop Villiers Square - building a new hotel alongside a new retail and office development.
More recently plans were announced to build a mixed-use development built on the former Lord Street Bus Station site, including 85 apartments, office space, a multi-screen cinema complex, restaurants, food hall and 'bus information centre'.
