A former children’s play area might turn back into a place of business.
In 2019, The Cub House, in Station Road, Ballasalla, took over what used to be an Isle of Man Bank branch .
The play area closed in 2022 and new plans show a proposal to convert the premises back into office space.
Office rental space agency Bubble Limited intends for the office space to be either customer-facing or standard.
The premises lie within a predominantly residential area susceptible to flooding.
Planning agent Sarah Corlett Town Planning Consultancy attempts to address this concern by noting that flooding presents a lower risk to an office occupied by adults than children in a play area.
