A NEW school is planned for Hucknall as a report tells of "significant concern" at the lack of primary places in the town.
With a 900-home development planned for the Rolls-Royce site, Nottinghamshire County Council will consider the report tomorrow.
The document states: "The area has a predicted shortage of places within the next three to four years for the existing population, excluding growth proposals".
As a result, the authority is set to build a school at a cost of £3m, with the money recouped from the developer.
The report adds: "The early provision of a primary school offers some redress to the shortage of primary school places in Hucknall and there is an urgent requirement to facilitate a conclusion of this issue now that the wider proposal has secured planning permission." The plans will be discussed tomorrow at County Hall, West Bridgford, from 10am.
