The proposed two-storey building at Chafford Hundred Primary School, in Mayflower Road, was given the go-ahead by Thurrock Council’s planning committee last Thursday night
The extension will provide six new classrooms, a hall, a lift and toilets, which will enable the school to take on more pupils.

Planning officers said the increase would create ‘additional pressure’ on local roads, particularly Mayflower Road, which regularly suffers from congestion at school start and finish times.
However, officers agreed that staff and pupil surveys have shown levels of car usage have reduced over the last four years.

The school also submitted a Green Travel Plan to reduce the number of cars on site, with car sharing schemes for staff and appointing some pupils as road safety officers.
Proposals to increase parking restrictions in Mayflower Road will also be considered in a forthcoming public consultation.
