This site is adjacent to the area that is to be developed for a new primary school. SCDC had asked the parish council to liaise with the County Council to ensure that the requirement for the development of the school had been allowed for in designating this LGS. Once a LGS is included in a made neighbourhood plan it does not allow for flexibility of its boundary and can only be reviewed as part of the review of a neighbourhood plan or local plan. SCDC in designating LGS in the Local Plan had a principle whereby it did not identify school playing fields as this could cause problems in the future if a school wished to expand. Should this have been proposed as a PVAA to allow for flexibility?
