MALVERN College has applied for planning permission to retain portable buildings on its playing field at Barnards Green to be used s changing rooms.

The buildings were first installed six years ago, and the school says in its application that they have now become indispensable when the playing field is in use.

The college's planning application will be decided by Malvern Hills District Council.

Malvern College recently received permission to cut down a row of poplars along one boundary of the same playing field.
