An eco-pod will be sited in the grounds of Christ Church Upper Armley Primary School, after council planners granted planning permission.
The eco-pod would be a space that meets the specific needs of a disabled child for learning, therapy, and relaxation.
A design statement submitted with the application states: “The eco pod will not only support the individual needs of the disabled child but also serve as a resource for inclusive education, promoting empathy, environmental stewardship, and wellbeing among all pupils.”
A council planning officer’s report approving the application concluded: “The proposal is in conformance with the policies set out within the development plan for Leeds.”
The 13 square metre pod will also feature a Sedum green roof.
The ‘gothic’ design school dates back to 1871.
