Approved!
The famous brewery will redevelop the Commissioners Yard on Milner Terrace into a brewery and restaurant.
Bushy’s has been granted unanimous approval to relocate its brewery to Castletown.
The brewery will redevelop the Commissioners Yard on Milner Terrace into a brewery and restaurant.
As well as the brewery and tap room the restaurant will provide seating for 90 covers internally across two floors and 90 outdoor and full disabled access across the brewery, both floors of the taproom and outdoor dining terrace.
Bushy’s announced in 2022 that it planned to leave Santon and head to the island’s ancient capital, with Castletown Town Commissioners saying it intended to sell the land and associated buildings to the brewer for £625,000, this deal has yet to be completed.
The local authority said: ‘The Commissioners are pleased to confirm that the application to relocate Bushys into our works yard was unanimously approved by the planning Committee at their meeting this morning.
‘The proposal will again be subject to a petition to the Department of Infrastructure in the near future in order to progress.’
A petition is the process by which a local authority seeks permission from the DoI for certain activities and financial dealings.
