Discovery Special Academy

Middlesbrough

Our planning specialists secured temporary planning permission for a two year period for modular accommodation and facilities to accommodate the Discovery Special Academy, a Special Educational Needs (SEN) non-faith free school for 5 – 11 year olds with severe learning difficulties (SLD) on land at the Brambles Academy, Kedward Avenue, Middlesbrough.

The proposal includes single story temporary accommodation consisting of modular classrooms, hall, hygiene rooms, associated storage and circulation. Informal hard and soft play areas are also to be provided adjacent to the building along with additional car parking.

The temporary accommodation is required for a maximum period of two years to enable the academy to grow incrementally whilst discussions are ongoing in relation to the permanent site.

Permission was granted subject to only three conditions.
