Plans submitted to improve nursery facilities at Jarrow primary school
St Mary's RC Primary School in Jarrow seeks planning approval for nursery enhancement, including expanded teaching space.
Plans have been submitted to improve nursery facilities at St Mary's RC Primary School site off Ayr Drive in Jarrow.
The site includes both a primary school and nursery provision, and new plans are seeking permission to "increase the nursery floor area by converting the current covered external area into teaching space."
A planning application lists proposed works which include the removal of existing external roller shutters and "new cavity brickwork to openings where shutters are removed".
Other works include "new aluminium windows and doors to elevation" and a "new felt roof covering".
Existing floor plans show an "enclosed external area" which would be redeveloped as part of the plans, and the proposed new space is made up of nursery floor space and a cloakroom.
The planning application also confirms that there would be no increase in employees at the nursery as a result of the development.
A decision on the plan is expected following a council consultation.
