opment Plan', and specifically provides a local framework for how Douglas and the surrounding settlements are likely to grow, change or stay the same for the remainder of the Plan Period (up to 2026). It replaces all extant plans and is a material consideration when planning applications are determined. Recent events have led to some questions whether the timing is right to release the Plan. I believe firmly that it is. I would like to thank all those who have contributed through out this Plan's development. Such engagement is invaluable and makes for a more rounded and robust plan and ensures matters and sites are fully scrutinised. I look forward to seeing how the Area Plan for the East influences change as we embrace our digital, green and safe Island.

The Cabinet Office has a responsibility, afforded to it by Section 2 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999, to prepare the Island Development Plan (IDP). The purpose of the IDP is to set out the general 'Policies' in respect of the development and other use of land on the Isle of Man , and also to identify the 'Proposals' which relate to specific places or issues , depending on the particular plan area. The two types of plan prepared and which make up the 'Island Development Plan' are: • a strategic plan, and • one or more area plans. The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 (the Strategic Plan ) was approved by Tynwald on 15th March 2016, coming into operation on 1st April 2016. In hierarchical terms, the strategic plan sits above the area plans in the sense that the proposal in an area plan shall be in general conformity with the strategic plan. The implementation of Policy set out in the Isle of Man Strategic Plan This Area Plan for the East elaborates on the broad policies set out in the Isle of Man Strategic Plan relating them to precise areas of land. The Plan's final form has been shaped by the Report of the Public Inquiry published on 6th December 2019 and the representations received on the proposed Modifications published on 14th February 2020. The Area Plan for the East is made up of a Written Statement (this document) and a series of Maps. The Written Statement contains 'Proposals' which are either site s pecific, relatable to a specific issue in the East or on occasion in the form of a policy statement for a specific area. A number of 'Recommendations' are also included. These are statements of intent where the Cabinet Office has no direct control over i mplementation. They are intended to act as encouragement to other Departments or bodies to work together with the support of Cabinet Office to take action on or to deliver on particular matters or policy statements. How many Area Plans will there be? It is the intention to produce a limited number of Area Plans. There is already an Area Plan for the South which covers Castletown, Port Erin, Port St Mary, Rushen, Arbory, and Malew. The Area Plan for the East will be followed by an Area Plan for the North and West. Current legislation allows an area plan to relate to the whole of the Island or to such part as may be specified therein. It is the aim to pro
