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:
Rolling delays see Manxman sailings cancelled
Assisted dying bill receiving 'due attention it deserves' in UK
Faulty device believed to have triggered multi-agency search effort
Payroll firm reprimanded after thousands of personal records discovered in abandoned shredding bins
