TINY Tots Nursery, which currently runs from a building at Trethorne Leisure Park, is seeking to operate from premises on a new site to enable growth of the business.

Plans for a children’s nursery at Sheers Barton, Lawhitton, have been submitted to Cornwall Council.

The proposals are for a single-storey nursery building with outdoor classroom, bin and bike store, parking, play space, landscaping and new access.

Documents submitted to the council state the lease on the building it operates from at Trethorne expires in 2017, and new premises are being sought to ensure the business can continue.

At the time the plans were submitted to the council, the nursery had 106 children and 13 staff.

The planning application awaits a decision from Cornwall Council.
