Planning permission: Bid for two-storey extension at Ravensthorpe Community Centre submitted to Kirklees Council

The proposals, which were received by the council on June 11, are seeking permission for a two-storey rear extension to the building, which is located on Garden Street.

A design and access statement submitted alongside the application says the extension would be used as a nursery and larger training room, by extending the building approximately 2.8m to the rear of the existing side addition.

The statement said: “Overall the new addition will be modest in scale when viewed against the existing building and will mainly be hidden from view to the rear.”

The centre is used for a range of purposes, such as office space, meeting rooms, training rooms and a nursery.

The application states one of the 21 existing parking spaces would be lost as a result of the proposed extension.

A public consultation period opened on June 16 and will end on July 14.
