Planners have approved plans for the redevelopment of the Callows Yard site in Castletown.
After an unusual 'oral hearing' a fortnight ago they have dropped a condition for car parking. That had been a sticking point for the substantial proposals to build houses, retail units, apartments, maisonettes, a coffee shop and town square in the area currently taken up with derelict properties between Malew and Arbory Streets.
The approval is subject to possible appeal.
