An outdoor classroom and associated works at a Pembrokeshire village school to replace building that are no longer fit for purpose has been given the go-ahead by county planners.

An application by Carl Evans of Roch CP School sought permission for a gable-end outdoor classroom and two freestanding timber canopies at the school.

A report for Pembrokeshire Council planners, recommending approval, stated: “This full planning application seeks planning permission for the provision of additional outdoor classroom spaces for Roch CP School.

“The proposal includes the installation of two timber canopies, which would be positioned outside of classrooms 1 and 2 upon the eastern elevation of the school building.”

The application was conditionally approved under delegated powers.
