The team at Morgan Elliot Planning are delighted to announce the approval of a temporary change of use of an existing woodland to accommodate a children’s forestry educational facility within South Gloucestershire.
Forest schools provide a unique outdoor learning environment where children can explore, connect with nature, and develop valuable skills beyond the classroom.
The location of this development offers convenient access for many educational institutions, enabling schools and groups from across the area to visit and experience the benefits of outdoor learning first-hand.
We’re proud to have supported this initiative and contribute to meaningful projects that benefit local communities, promote sustainability, and inspire future generation.
