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:
Lone cyclist involved in Peel Road collision
Government 'unable' to comment on recount outcome
Manx Care forecasting £19.2million overspend
Manx students believe social media ban 'will have pros and cons'
