The joint Church/Parish Meeting group “Friends of Burgh Schoolroom” (FOBS) applied in February,2009, for planning permission to extend the old schoolroom beside the church to make it into a proper community resource with disabled access, toilet facilities and kitchen.  This was granted in October, 2009.

The extension will just fit in the space between the schoolroom and the neighbouring field and will replace the rundown, unused yard and outside ‘elsan’ privy.

The only obvious change from the roadside will be the addition of a roof above the existing wall of the yard.














The proposed (tiny!) kitchen and unisex toilet with disabled access and facilities will use the area of the existing yard and chemical toilet.


















The development plans to:

• be in sympathy with the existing building with a slate roof and flint clad wall
• meet the needs of the whole community with access over a firm slope (no steps) and a toilet for the disabled
