Iconic buildings protected from demolition
There was an 'avalanche of public support' to preserve an iconic building in the south of the Island, according to Geoffrey Boot.
The environment, food and agriculture minister confirmed this week the Cosy Nook was one of three sites granted registered status.
Commissioners in Port Erin last year voted to demolish the seaside cafe, however, this latest move means that will not be allowed to happen.
Mr Boot has rejected suggestions government has sought to interfere in the local authority's plans:
New administration has 'difficult decisions' to make
One-way restrictions on Glencrutchery Road for tree works
Advice issued as seal pup season gets underway
Next phase of Queen's Pier restoration to be formally opened by Lieutenant Governor
