2. Not Justified
4. Not Consistent with National Policy
ECC as appropriate authority with responsibilities for education provided BBC with education and childcare requirements for DHGV at Reg.19 and agreed position in Statement of Common Ground (F17D).
ECC is not satisfied that wording in criteria 7 a, b, c and d of Policy R01 (i) will ensure education and childcare requirements are provided for on-site.
Criterion 7. a. is misleading. 7.9ha of land allows sufficient space for secondary school only. Additional 2.1ha required to co-locate with primary school/EYCC.
This reflects ECC’s position in Statement of Common Ground with BBC (F17D).
2. Not Justified
4. Not Consistent with National Policy
ECC as the appropriate authority with responsibilities for education covering Brentwood Borough Council (BBC) has provided BBC with the education and childcare requirements (land size in hectares, use class allocation, and type of facility – Primary, Secondary, Early Years and Childcare) for the DHGV site allocation as part of its Regulation 19 consultation responses and has agreed this position with BBC in the Statement of Common Ground (F17D).
As currently drafted ECC is not satisfied that the wording proposed within criteria 7 a, b, c and d of Policy R01 (i) will ensure the education and childcare requirements are provided for on-site.
It is considered that criterion 7. a. as currently drafted is misleading. 7.9ha of land allows sufficient space for a secondary school only. To co-locate a primary school and EYCC facility with the secondary school requires an additional 2.1ha of land.
This reflects ECC’s position as set out in the Statement of Common Ground with BBC (F17D).
