Westwood Farm Infant School Fullbrook Crescent Tilehurst Reading RG31 6RY Data via plota.co.uk

26/00896/CERTP - Certificate of Lawfulness (Proposed) Approved

Proposal

To create a 'proper' reception area for visitors and deliveries. This will enable our current receptionists to remain at their desks when a visitor comes to the school rather than them having to leave the reception area to meet them in the corridor. The reception will be in use within all school hours, 8-4pm. Likely to install new electronic sign in system. To remove current outdoor handrail area and build an enclosed reception area & meeting room space. Data via plota.co.uk
