NEIGHBOURS are invited to share their views on plans for the expansion of a primary school.

A public event to discuss proposals for the development of Hereward Primary School in Colebrook Lane, Loughton, will take place on Wednesday November 7.

Expansion of the site will be needed to house a proposed increase in pupil numbers to 420 and will include two new classrooms, three group rooms, an office, additional storage space, a small hall and improvements to the outside play area and parking.

Essex County Council is calling on nearby residents to view the plans for the new-look school and discuss the proposals with representatives of the authority and design team.

All comments will be reviewed before any planning applications are submitted.

  • The event will take place in the school's main hall between 3.30pm and 7pm.
