Laurus Ryecroft School, based on Lumb Lane in Droylsden, has been granted permission to build an artificial grass football pitch sized 120m x 80m. The planning panel, meeting in Droylsden, was told how the proposal also includes six 18m floodlights; an equipment storage facility, a toilet block; and two lanes for cricket nets.
Ed Haslam, a director at the Laurus Trust, told the panel how the school had been struggling to find space for PE lessons in the sports hall which is the only option when the grass pitch is unusable.
