Officer's Report

The site represents the curtilage of Castletown Football Club's grounds located on the western side of the Malew Road (A3).

Proposed here is the redevelopment of the existing stadium. Phase 1 of the proposal would be the demolition of the larger part of the existing building and the erection of new changing rooms, store and undercover seated stands. This would adjoin the existing rifle club building. Phase 2 will come later although no indication is given as to what this includes.

The new stand and changing rooms are smart in appearance - dark coloured sheeted roof with dashed walls and signage at the back of the seats on the wall of the building.

The facilities in the new changing rooms should be suitable for disabled persons and whilst the DAO has not suggested it, some provision for disabled persons spectating should also be made undercover.
