Plans for a robotic dispensing pharmacy have been given the go-ahead - and it will open on June 3. Island-based pharmaceutical company Kingsley Muti Ltd has a wholesale warehouse on the Balthane Industrial Estate and had applied for an additional use to allow it to be used for a pharmacy dispensing site and pick up place for Manx Care and private prescription medicines. The pharmacy dispensary will use a robotic machine, 3m in height, to sort and label medicine for dispatch.
Kinglsey Muti’s initial application (23/01468/C) was rejected by the planning committee in February by the narrowest of margins, despite being recommended for approval by the planning officer. The application for BMS House was rejected on the basis that the site is zoned for industrial use and not retail in the Strategic Plan and Southern Area Plan.Kingsley Muti then submitted a new application (24/00312/C) which specifically excluded the retail pharmacy element.
