A pre-application planning consultation on a proposal to expand IES Breckland School in Brandon to 600 places has been launched.
Suffolk County Council (SCC) is consulting on the proposals which includes a new standalone two storey teaching block and reconfiguration of areas within the existing buildings. External changes will also include improved parking.
The proposed expansion increases capacity from 500 pupils to 600 pupils and is scheduled for September 2022.
This non-statutory pre-application planning consultation will enable SCC to gather the views of parents and local residents prior to the submission of the planning application. It does not affect the right to comment on the proposals during the statutory planning consultation process.
