00:00Fortis Academy in Great Bar is a step closer to a major redevelopment,
00:05after Birmingham City Council planning officers recommended proposals for approval. The plans
00:11would see most of the existing school demolished and replaced with modern teaching, dining and
00:17sports facilities, funded through the Department for Education's School Rebuilding Programme.
00:22Planning officers say the scheme would deliver significant educational and community benefits
00:28to pupils. Some residents have raised concerns about parking and traffic, but the council says
00:34the redevelopment would not have an unacceptable impact on the surrounding road network.
00:40Councillors will make the final decision this week.
