Some blaming decline on private agreements
Environment minister Geoffrey Boot says planners assess whether an establishment is still viable when someone applies for change of use.
Some have blamed the decline in pubs on covenants which restrict new owners from continuing to run them as businesses.
Mr Boot says outside of planning, it's not for government to get involved in private agreements:
Mountain Road: Pre-TT maintenance works postponed
Issue with asphalt plant sees resurfacing works pushed back
Breast Clinic won't be running 'as smoothly as hoped' for the next month
Unexpected staff absence will 'severely impact' the service
Health Minister: 'This is the right time' to review relationship between DHSC and Manx Care
If approved, committee to report back by December this year
Section of Mountain Road to close for pre-TT works
Route to close between Bungalow and Creg Ny Baa
