Plans for an £8.9 million expansion to a Leeds academy have officially been given the green light.
Leeds City Academy, located in Woodhouse Cliff, Woodhouse, launched a planning application in September that would see a two-storey rear extension built to provide additional teaching facilities. Plans, which also include construction of a single storey extension to the school dining hall and new hard surfaced sports pitches/playing areas, were officially green lit by Leeds City Council during a planning committee meeting last week.
“Revisions to the original application, which removed the proposals for an artificial playing pitch, have also addressed the majority of residents’ concerns regarding the possible environmental impact of the plans. “On this basis, the plans have now been approved subject to conditions.” Sign up for our free newsletters now Run by the White Rose Academies Trust, the expansion will allow the pupil capacity of the school to increase to 1050, from the current 950 pupils it accommodates.
