A private boarding school has lodged further plans to redevelop its historic campus with Shropshire Council.
Watch more of our videos on ShotsTV.comConcord College says it wants to demolish and redevelop two buildings on its Acton Burnell site to provide improved boarding and dining facilities for its largely international cohort of students.
Under the proposals, the modern-design West End building, currently a social hub containing a games room and cinema space, would be demolished to make way for a “dining hub” to seat 500 students. “The proposal seeks to set a new, higher standard for dining at Concord College with a focus on space, daylight and views of nature. The building will be designed for efficient circulation to prevent congestion.
“Analysis of existing facilities highlighted that the existing Elisabeth Boarding House is sub-standard by modern expectations in the sector and non compliant with new regulations in regard to safeguarding,” the planning statement adds.
