Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8474

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Lyn Holtham

Representation Summary:

It has not been proven that the school can justify the proposed relocation or that the land swap will generate sufficient funding. Would that divert CIL payments away from other local projects and facilities?
The Headmaster has said at one time that the School only 'needs' 450 new dwellings to support their proposal and therefore the allocation of further land in the south of the Triangle is not warranted considering A) the loss of high quality Green Belt landscape, B) the damaging impact on the setting of Knowle and C) the additional traffic activity at peak times.
