A HIGH school has won planning permission to create a single-storey building on its grounds for classrooms and storage space.

Rainhill High will create a mono-pitches single-storey building to incorporate two classrooms and two storage rooms.

The building will be situated in the existing sports block to the back of the school.

Plans stated: "The proposal has been designed in a manner which is sensitive to the area and local surroundings, and all attempts will be made to limit visual impact of the new structure".

Plans describe the site as "a courtyard or ‘quad’ to the existing Sports Block situated at the rear of Rainhill High School".

The quad is "currently used as an additional recreational area for students during break times".

They added: "The physical characteristics of the existing buildings will not change as no demolition or

extension to the building is proposed."

Planning officers have given the school the nod.
