Plans to increase height of new teaching block at Kinver academy approved by South Staffordshire Council
An application to South Staffordshire Council to increase the height of the new teaching block at Brindley Heath Academy in Kinver has been approved.
The academy told the local community in a letter about the new building: "The proposed building will be in the form of a T-shape located towards the southern portion of the site.
"The building will be predominantly one-storey, with the main hall being two storeys in height due to this space requiring a double height design in the DfE [Department for Education] specification. The new proposed building will include classrooms, group rooms, staff facilities, office space and main hall. Externally, the school building will be surrounded by hard informal areas for play."
The school added: "A hard PE area is proposed to the east of the new school block, with a soft PE area proposed to the north of the site once the existing building has been demolished. Hard informal and soft informal play spaces and a forest school area are proposed on the site of the existing hardstanding. Existing pedestrian and vehicular access arrangements will remain as existing."
The school will be able to increase the number of pupils after the new development is finished.
