Feb 23, 2025, Express and Star: Plans submitted to change Kinver's Dunsley Hall from a hotel to a special educational needs school
The hall has been passed through a line of wealthy families and aristocrats since 1304 but now a planning application for change of use from hotel to school has been submitted to South Staffordshire Council.
Bromsgrove based Polaris Community's planning application outlines its plan to transform the Dunsley Road hall into a new school.
"The application is for the change of use of the school and land, internal alterations to the Listed and Curtilage Listed Buildings, erection of fencing, and the installation of a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) within the curtilage."
He added: " The applicant is Polaris Community; they are one of the UK’s largest leading communities of children’s service providers.
"The Polaris Community is one that specialises in nurturing childcare. Alongside specialist education provision, the business provides independent fostering and adoption agencies, residential children's homes, leaving care services, and bespoke children’s services contract.
"Some of the services have been established for 37 years, helping young lives thrive across the UK. 6.7 The drive behind the change of use of Dunsley Hall to an education facility is to help children and young people reach their full potential through specialist education and support for children who need a tailored approach to learning." . . .
South Staffordshire Council's planning department's consultation will be open for comments and objections until March 7.
