Shropshire Council has approved the application for the former Henlle Park Golf Club, at Henlle, Gobowen.

The plans are part of ambitions for the site to host a school run by the OneSchool Network - set up by the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.

Permission was granted last summer to allow the change of use from a golf club to a school.

The site has been chosen as suitable to relocate the organisation's Newtown School, which is based in the former Sarn Primary School, in the village of Sarn, near Newtown.

Documents submitted with the proposal set out plans for surfaced sports pitches, a playing field, a single-storey extension to the main school building, recladding of the sports building, an extended junior play area, as well as fencing for the site.
