Only one commissioner supported the plan
Plans to revamp a former bank in Onchan are going ahead - six months after commissioners rejected the idea.
The proposals for a restaurant, four flats and two commercial units in the Isle of Man Bank building on Main Road have gained planning approval, with work already underway.
The local authority's concerns over parking were overturned by planners.
Onchan Commissioner, James Cherry, who supported the plans all along, says he's glad to see more development in the village:
Reopening of Martin Ward delayed following further safety checks
Major reservoir projects completed on time and on budget
Law Society responds to 'anecdotal' reports of conveyancing log-jam
Repair scheme an 'antidote to throwaway culture'
