Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8977

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Councillor Max McLoughlin

Representation Summary:

Yes. However, there are concerns over the relocation of Arden School. The phasing would need to be coordinated in such a manner so as not to reduce Secondary School place provision during the work.
This particular component requires careful planning and monitoring of future demand for Secondary School places at what could be a critical time. With Secondary School pupil numbers set to grow by 20% over the next decade, it should be considered that the new Arden School site factors in potential additional student capacity in its design.
