Supermarket chain hopes to build new store in Ballasalla
The planning department has been pressed on details about a new Shoprite in the south of the Island.
Concerns have been raised after it was revealed a new store could be built at the old Whitestone Garage site in Ballasalla.
Shoprite owners, Isle of Man Enterprises PLC, suggested there was a demand for a supermarket in the area.
Chairman of Malew Commissioners Nigel Bazley says the authority wants to welcome new businesses to the region but has reservations about what impact the proposed new store will have.
He says it's important to understand what the development would mean for the village:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
