One step closer for schools’ renovation
Kings Langley School and Hemel Hempstead’s Longdean School are to be redeveloped under the national Priority School Building Programme – and both are among the first seven schools to have the work undertaken.
Planning permission for the ambitious builds was granted by Dacorum Borough Council’s development control committee in November, with additional applications submitted last week detailing conditions and non-material amendments.
