Not clear from the rep as to whether proposed allocation 9 Knowle is supported or not.
However, comments on the provision of school places in the settlement is highlight as below:
I would like to highlight the need for increase in primary education proposed in Items 4, 8 and 9.
In response to the Draft Local Plan Review I would like to highlight the need for an increase in primary education proposed in Items 4, 8 and 9.
This directly impacts on the education of my children at St George & St Teresa RC School and we request to be considered in the planning of this provision going forward.
During recent years local development has been substantial and whilst Local Authority Schools in the area have been increased to meet demand St George & St Teresa has not. We have been forced to exclude children within our parish and with siblings in our school. This can not continue. Especially when non catholic schools are offered as an alternative.
The size of our catchment area to include new developments at Balsall Common, Hockley Heath and additional potential impact from Blythe Valley, as well as Knowle & Dorridge demonstrates a need which should be addressed.
