A parish council is preparing to take its case against the construction of a new nursery to the high courts.
Assington Parish Council opposes the construction of new premises for the Yorley Barn Nursery School on a greenfield site close to the A134.
Yorley Barn said it wanted to “add to the community” after it was asked to leave its current site in Little Cornard, but the council argues that its intended location along the A134 is not appropriate.
Babergh District Council approved the construction of the site in November, having been initially recommended to refuse the application because it went against the its development plan.

An outstanding nursery is set to move to a new site after plans which handed them a lifeline were approved.
Yorley Barn Nursery School has occupied a barn in Upper Road, Little Cornard, for over a decade but was recently asked to leave the premises - leaving managers heartbroken.
However, the nursery - which employs 12 people - was handed a lifeline by a nearby farmer and plans for its move have now been approved by Babergh District Council.
The farming family agreed to sell the company a plot of land south of the A134 in Assington on a four-year payment plan, subject to planning permission which has now been approved.
