Land plots to be sold for housing
Building plots to accommodate more than 100 properties on the Isle of Man are to be sold off by the Manx government.

The Department of Local Government (Estates and Housing Directorate) has published details of its plans to sell land in Jurby over the next few years.

The proposed development will offer the possibility for up to 103 dwellings to be built on the site.

The plots will feature a range of properties, including eco-housing and homes for first-time buyers.

Details of the initial plots released for self-builders and small contractor-developers are available in an information pack from the Estates and Housing Directorate.

The proposals have been brought forward in line with the recommendations of a report received by Tynwald in 2003 which set out a range of measures to be implemented to enable Jurby Village to grow in a sustainable way.

The construction of Jurby Prison, which is set to open next year, has been regarded as a main player in the regeneration of Jurby.
