Part of Bedford Modern School to be demolished to get rid of concrete prone to collapse
Bedford Modern School plans to demolish a section of its main building.
The demolition is being planned to remove RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete).
A planning application submitted to Bedford Borough Council said the RAAC would be replaced with new façades to the exposed elevations and a new tennis court in the resulting courtyard.
A new, glazed entrance to the north will provide a new access point into the existing building, and a new glazed canopy is also proposed along the new northern elevation.
More information can be found on the council’s planning portal, reference 25/02127/FUL.
The overall consultation expiry date is Friday, December 19, 2025.
