AN alternative site for a controversial multi-use games area at a village school has been approved.
North Yorkshire County Council granted planning permission for the twin-court facility to be built behind Middleton Tyas Primary School, near Richmond, on Tuesday.
Plans to build the facility at the front of the school were criticised by residents of a sheltered housing complex, who feared they would be disturbed by noise from users and light from the floodlights.
