The proposed wall is approximately 85m in length.”

“Officers consider the proposal would enhance the security provided to early-years provision, which would be in line with both local and national planning policies.

The Local Highway Authority has also raised no objections.”

“The application relates to English Martyrs Roman Catholic Primary School on Wycliffe Road in Urmston. The main access to the primary school is located to the west side of the site (from Wycliffe Road) via 2no. pedestrian entrances and 2no. vehicular entrances.”

“Local Highway Authority: - No objections on highway grounds.”

“No objections. The proposed fence will provide an increased level of security; however, there are a number of climbing aids immediately adjacent to the existing wall including two telephone poles, a lighting column, and a bin which need to be addressed. • Given the site is well overlooked, a lower boundary (i.e. 2100mm) would still provide a good level of security.”
