Yapton school expansion plans enter next stage as formal consultation opens
Residents are being invited to have their say on plans to expand Yapton CE Primary School, following the publication of formal proposals by West Sussex County Council.
The consultation, which opened following the publication of statutory proposals, gives parents, residents and other interested parties another opportunity to comment before a decision is made on the school's future.
People have until 11.55pm on Thursday, December 10 to submit their comments through the council's consultation website.
West Sussex County Council said all responses would be considered before a decision is taken following the end of the consultation period.
Councillor Sam Raby, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Learning, said: "I encourage anyone who has an interest in the proposed expansion of Yapton Primary School to find out more and then let us know what they think.
"All responses will all be taken into consideration and help inform the final decision which I hope to make in the coming months."
The proposed expansion would be funded through Section 106 contributions from developers, alongside a small contribution from the council's Schools Basic Need funding.
Section 106 contributions are payments made by developers towards local infrastructure and services to help address the impact of new housing developments.
Residents can view the proposals and submit their views through West Sussex County Council's consultation website.
