Isle Of Man Education, Castle Rushen High School, Arbory Road, Castletown, Isle Of Man, IM9 1re
This application sought permission to retain an existing portakabin at Castle Rushen High School, Arbory Road, Castletown. The structure serves as an office, store, and emergency base for the school's synthetic pitch. The officer's report noted that the portakabin sits within the school curtilage and is not significantly visible from the adjacent public highway at Farrant Park, owing to boundary treatment and differences in ground levels between the site and the road. The building was also described as being in a good state of repair. The application was permitted on 12 July 2012 through delegated decision.
