Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Paragraph 531. The Trustees should be a key stakeholder as Berkswell C of E school is vested in the charity, and all housing proposals within Balsall Common fall within the terms of the charity scheme. Need for education strategy recognising other schools in area. Plan lacks detail of new school proposal, such as size, location, delivery, trigger point, community use, access/parking, constraints & design issues. Lack of Special Education Needs (SEN) provision. No indication of phasing of school to meet needs of housing across settlement. Does not factor in potential extra 300 homes at BC1.
Should set out clear education strategy taking into account existing 3 schools and ensure availability of school places as needed and potential for expansion.
