A new primary school will be built in Nottingham despite the safety concerns of local businesses. The Waterside Primary Academy will be built at the former CVS site on Trent Lane, after Nottingham City Council gave the proposal planning permission on February 7.
The new school will accommodate 210 primary school children and 30 nursery pupils, employing 22 staff members. The project has been overseen by the Department for Education and would be operated by Greenwood Academy Trust.
The Waterside Primary Academy will be constructed on a brownfield site, known as the former CVS site, to the west of Trent Lane, Nottingham. A car valet and storage business was previously located on the site and some "poor quality" industrial buildings remain on the site, which will be demolished as part of the development of the school.
