Industrial unit plan for skate park
BBCPlans to convert an indoor skate park into an industrial unit have been lodged.
The facility, Urban Extreme in Barrow-in-Furness, opened in 2014 but has been on the market to buy or rent for more than three years.
Process Pipework Services (PPS) has taken over the premises as part of its expansion plans.
Westmorland and Furness Council is considering the plans which PPS said would bring an additional 18 to 20 jobs to the area and not involve "significant alteration" to the building.
Urban Extreme caters for cyclists, skateboarders, scooter riders and in-line skaters, and boasts a cafe.
It was opened by former semi-professional BMX rider Jason Keith, after he sold his agricultural contracting business.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service said that according to planning documents submitted by PPS, the firm is a "key partner" of BAE and in order to "keep up with demand" wants to expand and take on a new premises.
Its supporting statement said: "It is the only available building/site with good proximity to BAE that would be able to accommodate the needs of a PPS expansion."
This planning application is undergoing public consultation.
