Office extension plans for Ruskington school

Chestnut Street Primary School at Ruskington is seeking planning permission to build an extension for more office space.

Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust, which manages the school, has submitted drawings to North Kesteven District Council for additional administrative staff accommodation, along with internal adjustments to existing rooms to the northern side of the building facing the school’s field.

The proposed extension would generate an extra 52 sqm of internal floor space, according to the plans, with removal of some trees to create a new access pathway, landscaping, as well as additional parking spaces.

It would accommodate an additional 16 part time staff, bringing the total to 15 full time and 36 part time.

The multi academy trust was set up by the diocese in 2013 and maintains 20 schools in the county, employing 558 staff and looking after 4,042 pupils.
