Plans have been submitted to convert the former Danum Grammar School for Girls in Doncaster, now the Mary Woollett Centre, into residential flats. The application, lodged by CR Construct Ltd, proposes 55 flats within the existing building and the construction of a three‑storey block containing an additional 44 units.
Local authorities received objections during the consultation period, citing concerns over parking pressure, potential traffic increases, and impacts on the building’s heritage. The applicant’s planning statement indicates an intention to preserve the site’s historic features, including the restoration of two single‑storey pavilions.
Environmental considerations have also been raised, with calls for a full ecological survey due to reported bat activity on the site. The consultation period closes on 3 October, after which Doncaster City Council will determine the application.
