The building will employ a steel frame and double sided galvanised steel sheets, although the application suggests the structure won’t be visible from a public road or land.
It would add 563 square metres to the school’s floorspace.
The scheme would result in six additional parking spaces, according to planning documents.
Yarrow Heights is a private SEN school rated Outstanding by Ofsted. It’s adjacent to the 18th century St Mary’s College, which is Grade II listed, and a detailed heritage statement is provided as part of the application which seeks to explain the relationship between the proposed new building and various ‘heritage assets’ around the site.
The plans are available from the council’s planning portal, and are open for comment until September 15.
