A Ravenstone school has been given planning permission for a new nursery and food preparation buildings.

Woodstone Community Primary School in Heather Lane, has been told it can start work on the project following an application by Bilingual Day Nursery & preschool Ltd which is based in Ashby.

North West Leicestershire County Council have the green light this week.

The school wanted approval for the provision of two detached single storey buildings.

Both buildings would be a support to the main primary school.

Amended plans were asked for during the course of the application in order to comply with highways guidance and now show the provision of five car parking spaces for the nursery school use.

A council officer's report reads: "The principle of the development is acceptable.

"The proposal is not considered to have any significant detrimental design, residential amenity or highway impacts. There are no other relevant material planning considerations that indicate planning permission should not be granted.

"The proposal is deemed to comply with the relevant policies in the adopted Local Plan, It is therefore recommended that the application be permitted."
