MHK believes it can still be vital asset to Glen Maye
A Manx pub, which dates back to the 1860s, will not be added to the Protected Buildings Register.
The Waterfall Hotel in Glen Maye doesn't demonstrate the 'special architectural interest' required by government.
Meanwhile a planning application - which is under appeal - is proposing to knock down the building and replace it with four terraced houses.
Glenfaba and Peel MHK Tim Crookall believes the pub could still be an important asset to the village if the right people are brought together:
Plans submitted for temporary base for Douglas RNLI
Work underway to remove asbestos from former Golf Links Hotel
Police raise welfare concerns about vehicle occupant
New EV charging points planned for Island's ports
Campaigners against offshore windfarm proposals hit out at 'undemocratic' process
