Which Isle of Man parishes are building the most housing?
New dwellings and demolish-and-rebuilds across 639 applications on the register — the work that adds or replaces housing stock, as opposed to extensions, boundary walls and re-roofing. Where a parish is building, the schools, surgeries and roads around it carry the load, so this is worth reading next to what is actually nearby.

An application, not a completed house. Some are granted and never built, some cover several dwellings on one site, and the register does not state a unit count — so read this as where the development pressure is, not a housing-completion figure. "New build" is inferred from each application's own wording, so a minority will be classified differently than a human reader would. Torteval's high share (n/a) sits on a small base — the absolute count matters more than the percentage in the smaller parishes.
