Plans for facility approved
The vacant Summerland site could be used as a temporary home for the horses which pull the trams on Douglas Promenade.
Plans for a facility, incorporating stables and tram sheds for 18 horses and 11 staff, have been given the go-ahead.
It will be based on the site while current stables, used since 1877, are repaired.
No date has been set for the building works.
Summerland was demolished in 2005.
