A planning application has been submitted to convert a historic private school into nine apartments.

The planning application is to turn Winston House Preparatory School, in High Road, South Woodford into nine flats and a build a separate two-storey building for use as a nursery, along with parking and communal amenity facilities.

The school building is a Grade II listed building, meaning it is of special historical and architectural importance.

The decision date for the application is unknown.

Winston House Preparatory School has been contacted for comment.
