Councillors have given the go ahead for a new primary and nursery in Monkerton.
The school will house a total of 480 students in the primary school and an additional 60 young learners in the nursery and forms a key part of the Monkerton and Hill Barton Masterplan, where 2,500 new homes will be built.
The main entrance to the school would be off a newly constructed access road off Cumberland Way which forms part of a new housing development to the North of the site, but councillors were concerned about the lack of a drop-off area for parents driving their children to school.
A previous planning meeting in July had seen a decision deferred as councillors expressed concerns about the highway impacts of the proposed development.
