Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 9145

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Karen Allen

Representation Summary:

I object to any development on green belt land, also to the relocation of Arden Academy. There is a swimming pool and theatre within 4 miles which is served by public transport from the area. Another swimming pool and theatre in the area are unlikely to be financially viable, and other infrastructure and facilities are needed (for older children, teenagers and young adults, doctors etc).
Currently Arden Academy pupils benefit from being close to the Knowle public transport links and the shops benefit from their custom, in the proposed location for the new school this would not be the case.
