It's because the current school meeting room is too ‘cramped’
Upottery Pre-School in East Devon plan to upgrade and extend their office space.
The plans submitted to East Devon District Council say that they need to extend the current building to allow a new office to be built, enabling them to turn the existing office into a sensory room.
A statement to planners says: “The office space is no longer fit for purpose and is too small to serve the administrative needs of the pre-school. There is no other space that could be utilised without affecting negatively the space to run the pre-school for the children.
“Currently meetings, which can involve multiple agencies, have to be held within the main pre-school area. Unfortunately this means meetings cannot be held during normal hours and are seated at tables and chairs which are designed for two-five year-olds.
“The proposal is to build an extension to create an office/meeting space, which will enable the conversion of the current office into a sensory room, which would enable the pre-school to offer a facility, not only for children with special educational needs, but for all children attending the school.”
