The building was installed due to an increase in pupil numbers at East Ward Community Primary School. The application seeks an extension of planning approval for five years whilst "significant changes are made to the existing permanent school buildings, either by obtaining funds for a new build or altering the internal layout to make better use of space."

The building has overall dimensions of 11,960mm x 9,937mm with an overall height of 3,402mm. The building is sited on a hard standing area and no landscaping is required as part of the application.
