PLANS to install a portakabin to serve as a base for a kitesurfing school are set to be given the green light.
Applicant Chris Ainsbury has submitted a planning application to Barrow Borough Council to house a portable facility at Earnse Bay car park.
The proposed base will be used as a kite surfing teaching classroom and store.
Planning committee agenda documents published ahead of a meeting on Tuesday June 18 reveal council officers are set to recommend the application is approved.
No significant objections have been raised by consultees including highways, BAE and United Utilities, although Natural England did advise: "Natural England receive reports of significant bird disturbance from kite surfers in this area.
"We request that education of the adjacent protected sites are provided as part of the kite surfing training that is delivered. Ideally a code of conduct should be proposed to guide those using the immediate area for kite surfing."
