A SCHOOL in the New Forest has submitted plans for a new outdoor eco learning room.

Our Lady and St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Ramley Road, Pennington, is seeking permission from New Forest District Council for the timber-framed building.

A design and access statement submitted in support of the proposal says the building will include one entry and exit point through a set of large French doors into a single room with no dividing walls.

The application is currently being considered by New Forest District Council's planning department.

Residents have until June 18 to put forward their comments on the plans, with a decision expected by mid-August at the latest.
