The current Arden site is described as constrained, however the new site will distance the activities further from the centre of Knowle and potentially damage trade on Knowle High Street which requires support - ie staff and pupils will have poor access to the shops and cafe facilities because they are further away and unable to walk there easily.
A better alternative would be to continue to use the very new buildings at either side of the site and rebuild the central block.
