PLANS have been lodged to build extra classrooms in Onthank Primary School in Kilmarnock.
The proposal from East Ayrshire Council involves constructing a single-storey, double-classroom modular building within the existing school area on Meiklewood Road.
The new units aim to ease congestion but will not lead to an increase in pupil or staff numbers.
The classrooms will be built on a grassy section of the school’s playing fields, with footpaths connecting the new and existing facilities.
The council assures that the development will not lead to additional waste, as it is designed to accommodate existing pupils.
The application site covers 1,507 square metres of land.
There will be no changes in vehicular access, public paths, or parking arrangements.
Changes in drainage systems will be made to connect the new building to the public water supply and drainage system.
The existing field drain, which is in poor condition, will be diverted around the new building.
Attenuation and treatment measures will be put in place to manage surface runoff.
These include constructing the play area with porous asphalt and connecting perforated pipes.
To view the application, you can go to East Ayrshire Council's planning portal under reference 26/0167/PP.
