New school set to open in Mansfield area with 'recognised demand' for spaces
A new school is set to be approved in a Nottinghamshire area with a "recognised demand" for places. A plan to turn Debdale House off Debdale Lane, Mansfield Woodhouse into a independent school has been recommended for approval at Mansfield District Council's planning committee on August 1.
The school will cater primarily for children with autism/mobility issues in key stage 2 and 3 . The applicant has confirmed there is a demand for this type of school places within the Mansfield area for children between these ages, with this application seeking to address this local need at the Debdale House.
It is anticipated that the school would accommodate up to 35 pupils and a maximum of 15 members of staff, although planning officers understand that this may be lower dependant on the requirements of individual children/young people. The only external alterations to the existing property would involve the removal of the existing garage door in the front elevation of the building and infilling this area with new brickwork and window/door openings, and the provision of an access ramp.
It is anticipated that all pupils and staff will access the site via taxi, private motor vehicle or cycle/walking rather than by bus, with mini-buses only utilised for school trips. One letter in support of the application and 10 objecting to the proposal were received.
