JohnWatchdog group Leeds Civic Trust have welcomed Listed building plans for replacement classrooms at Temple Newsam.
Proposals include the erection of a new classroom block, the change of use of Rose Lodge to ancillary staff facilities, along with landscaping and associated infrastructure.
The Civic Trust said: “Rose Lodge at Temple Newsam is a listed building, so there are extra protections around developments to the site.
“The planning committee think this is a good application. They support bringing a listed building back into use and making substantial improvement to what is there currently. They will write and submit a supportive letter for this application.”
The plans can be viewed in full here.
