Removal of Urban Open Space (R19) under Main Modifications will deprive forever space for two adjoining oversubscribed schools to expand to alleviate pressures on school spaces with increasing urbanisation.
R19 should be earmarked for expansion of both schools and for playing field space to accommodate the exponential rise in pupil numbers and replace the playing fields lost to Hogarth school’s buildings/carpark. Loss of schools’ playing fields have a negative impact on the mental/physical health of children. Instead, develop the off-site playing field for housing.
Previous assessment confirmed Priests Lane couldn’t withstand traffic increase without compromising health and safety even more.
