'We hope common sense will prevail': Nursery to appeal extension plan refusal

We are disappointed by the recent decision to refuse planning permission for the proposed extension to our nursery in the Hacton ward. As a long-standing and trusted early years provider in the community, our sole aim is to meet the growing demand for local childcare - a need that has only increased with the completion of the new 300-home development at the St George's Hospital site. We will be lodging a formal appeal against the decision.
