A meeting will be held next month for residents to discuss plans to demolish and rebuild a school.

Bradford Council's Shipley area planning committee has backed the £30million scheme to tear down Beckfoot School, in Wagon Lane, Bingley, and replace it with a new building.

The plan is included in phase two of the Council's £400million Building Schools For The Future scheme, which centres on schools for children with special educational needs.

Hazelbeck School is one of six such schools which will be built under the programme. It will share the campus with Beckfoot School, of which 85 per cent will be demolished and rebuilt as a three-storey complex.

The application for outline planning permission also includes new sports facilities on the site, which lies on green-belt land. It will serve more than 1,600 pupils - 120 of them special-needs children.

Concerns have been raised about the proposals, including fears of noise pollution and increased traffic in the area.

Designs for the new school will go on show at the meeting for neighbours to look at.

The meeting will be held at the school at 5pm on Thursday, April 10.
