Plans to expand a Tameside college and improve its sports facilities have been given the green light.
Ashton Sixth Form College had applied to the council to build a three storey extension and upgrade its sports facilities. Now the borough’s planning committee has approved the proposals which will see ten new classrooms and a remodelled sports hall built at the campus on Darnton Road.
Planning officers, who had recommended the application for approval, had said that there would no significant overlooking or overshadowing issues caused as a result of the construction of the new extension. “Overall, the proposed design and its use of high quality materials would enhance the campus by regenerating the area it would be sited within,” they stated.
