Building on the promenade had become unsafe
Garff Commissioners say it's a 'big relief' to see an old cafe building on Laxey Promenade demolished.
In the last 20 years various planning applications have been approved for residential development on the site but none have progressed.
A current application, for four dwellings, is still pending.
Chairman Marinda Fargher says the building itself had become unsafe:
Golf course fire was organised burn that became 'uncontrolled'
Gorse blaze made worse by windy conditions
Jail for man who stole nearly £70k from Western Civic Amenity Site
