A special school in Stanningley is set for more environmentally friendly heating after plans to install four air source heat pumps were approved by council.
West SILC Milestone School, based in Town Street, successfully applied for permission to install the heat pumps in a bid to reduce bills and reduce its carbon emissions.
The pumps will be sited in an existing staff car park next to the school, stood on a proposed shallow concrete raft base.
As part of a city wide scheme in its buildings Leeds City Council is looking to remove its main gas boilers and gas-fired water heaters and replace this equipment with an efficient low carbon heating system.
Permission was granted in August 2024 for the installation of the same 4 ASHPs, but sited to the front of the school in the far western corner of the site. This application seeks permission for the same pumps but located closer to the existing plant room which is to the east of the school.
The plans can be viewed in full here.
