A SCHOOL wants to erect a tower in its grounds to provide a home for bats and owls.

Lord Wandsworth College, in Long Sutton, has made the application as part of renovation to a brick building that was once used as a farm office and chicken hatchery.

The brick building will be converted into an office. The wildlife tower will be built close by, behind a row of mature trees.

Hart District Council will rule on the application by Monday, December 22.
