Children with complex needs will soon be able to access an exciting new learning facility in North Tyneside, after plans for a residential school and hydrotherapy pool were given the go-ahead.
North Tyneside Council’s planning committee last week approved the Percy Hedley Foundation’s application to improve and extend its specialist facilities for disabled young people at West Lane in Killingworth.
Designed by Gateshead-based Gradon Architecture, the new development at the existing campus will provide additional residential accommodation integrated on one-site, including a 24-bedroom home and state of the art hydrotherapy pool.
Percy Hedley Foundation is now looking to raise £5million to ensure the new integrated campus will be completed by September 2015.
