Gladys Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Not exactly news, but does anyone know the story with the big houses built on the plot of the old Lanky Hotel on the Castletown road? Big properties that look finished, no gardens that can be seen from the road, and the site is fenced off. Just very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour has it that two brothers have fallen out and won't allow each other to have a habitation certificate. Could be wrong but it's the best I've heard for a while 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong but it's the best I've heard for a while Don't know the process, (can one owner deny the other a habitation certificate?) but something like that would make sense. Shame, as those houses should be being lived in. Not my cuppa or budget, but they would appeal to many, you would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two houses are in a great spot with excellent views but sadly unoccupied... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Interesting spelling 'Lanky'. I've seen it also as 'Lancy' and 'Lankie' but I always used 'Lanchy'. Which is right if any I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Maybe they're just waiting for our next influx of HNWs. You know, "Build it and they will come" sort of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-lane Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Are these houses headlining the page, the houses in question, or is this somewhere else? https://www.facebook.com/people/Marlow-Construction-Ltd/100054497017718/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A fool and his money..... Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Bloke down the pub rumour, and from some time ago too, so take with a pinch of salt. I heard that they have no electricity supply, I can't remember exactly why, perhaps was the cost, perhaps it was overlooked - there was some reason but I can't remember it. Might be rubbish, but that's what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-in-man Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Subject to planning enforcement. Details on the planning webpage. One is fine, the other is in the wrong place, or too high and works done to raise the plot and land not included in the site plan so I believe. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
