  P17/V1308/FUL Submitted 10 May 2017 50 yards away

  The application is for a temporary double classroom unit to be located on the Faringdon Community College site, located approximately centrally within the school site. This would be required to be located on site from August 2017 until August 2018. The proposed unit comprises of 2 no. teaching classrooms, 2 no. small classroom stores and a small entrance lobby with cloakroom. The GIA of the proposed unit is 124m2. This application proceeds a second application for a new teaching block, which is due to be submitted in May 2017 to support the proposed expansion of the school from 7 form entry to 9 form entry. The proposed temporary accommodation would therefore only be required to support a short term need for additional teaching accommodation prior to the completion of the main block. After the completion of the teaching block the temporary double mobile unit would be removed from site and the footprint area of the unit reinstated to turf.
