5 Apr
Summary
- Alfreton Hall, an 18th-century building, is planned for conversion into a school.
- The Grade II listed building was originally constructed between 1724 and 1725.
- The school expects to grow from 40 to 80 pupils within the next five years.
An application has been filed to convert Alfreton Hall, an 18th-century structure, into a new school. Kingdom Christian School has put forward plans to Amber Valley Borough Council for the transformation of the Grade II listed building, which dates back to between 1724 and 1725.
This conversion aims to accommodate current and future pupils and staff. Planning documents indicate the proposed school hall would also be utilized for conferences. Additionally, former staff and office areas are slated for conversion into business units.
The school currently serves approximately 40 pupils and seven staff members. However, projections suggest an increase to around 80 pupils within the next five years. The submitted plans emphasize that these changes will enhance the building's practical use, giving it a "fresh lease of life." A refurbishment program is anticipated to secure the hall's long-term future.
