PLANS for a new Islamic boys school in Blackburn have been approved.
The Tauheedul Education Trust lodged a planning application with Blackburn with Darwen Council for an 800-pupil free school on the former cattle market in Sumner Street, Blackburn.
The demolition of existing buildings and the erection of a school and further education college with associated parking and landscaping would provide a permanent home for top-performing Tauheedul Islam Boys’ High School, which has been housed on a temporary site at the former Blakewater College in Shadsworth Road since it opened in 2012.
