The plan includes 133 homes which could be split into flats, houses, and a senior living block with a new scout hut and retail space.
Despite objections by councillors about parking issues in the area, the first condition is a payment to the council if the Manx Development Company cannot improve community spaces.
The other condition is for revisions by the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture and Highways to be approved.
Council Leader Clare Wells said during the meeting the council should be looking for ‘alternatives’, to the problems raised because ‘that’s our job’.
Multi-storey car parks and changes to parking permits and disc zones were raised as solutions.
