PENNY Bridge CE Academy at Mount Pleasant Road, Greenodd is seeking a new roof.
Head teacher Lynn Smolinksi has lodged plans with South Lakeland District Council to replace the roof slates, incorporating four Velux roof lights and demolishing an unused chimney.
A survey has revealed several roosts of common pipistrelle bats and, potentially, a solitary brown long-eared bat, requiring a licence from Natural England for the works.
