  • P17/V1375/FUL Granted

    Faringdon Community College Fernham Road FARINGDON SN7 7LB

    The application is for a new teaching block to accommodate the proposed expansion of the Faringdon Community College from 7 form entry to 9 form entry. It is proposed that the new three storey building will be located partially onto the existing hard courts and partially on the side of the existing school playing fields. The proposed new building will be 2,380m2 GIA with the new accommodation briefly comprising; 17 general teaching classrooms, business studies, science, and drama suites, and open plan cafe together with the associated ancillary facilities. The proposed development works will also include the removal from site of 2 no. 129m2 pre-fabricated classroom units, each comprising of 2 no. 55m2 classrooms, associated small stores and small lobby. The proposed external works will comprise 28 additional new parking spaces, which will be located at the end of the existing school car park, new hard and soft landscaping and re-formed hard games area adjacent to the new block. A new grasscrete route will also be formed extending from the existing access route around the leisure centre to provide access to the new building for emergency vehicles, and a temporary construction route is proposed to be formed to access the development works area from the rear of the site.

  • P17/V1308/FUL Granted

    Faringdon Community College Fernham Road FARINGDON SN7 7LB

    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.
