upper ground, first and second floor levels with

Basement level: kitchen, lunch hall area,
bathrooms.
Ground floor: two classrooms, an office,
hallway used as reception desk, and hallway to
new build.
Upper ground: large music room and small
office.

office, office and classroom.
Second floor: three good size classrooms and
office. Male and female toilets.
Two storey extension: comprising class rooms
to both ground and first floor plus male and

Development Prospects (Subject to PP)
We understand, subject to obtaining more
detailed investigations and subject to planning, that property is located in a ‘Primarily Residential Area’. As such residential development on the site is appropriate in principal. It is indicated that conversion of the existing would likely be supported but a demolition would not. In relation to the playground area, there may be potential for a sensitive design for ‘infill housing development’.
