Ridgeons, Cromwell Road: Supplementary Planning Document

Representation ID: 30892

Received: 07/03/2016

Respondent: EMRAG

Representation Summary:

School provision in Romsey is already oversubscribed. Unless the County believes that children should have to walk ( or more likely be driven given the distance) to Primary Schools beyond their immediate neighbourhood this site represents one of the last opportunities to rectify this failing. Waiting for the County Report means the likelihood of utilising this site will have been lost. Contributions towards other distant schools ( Abbey Meadows or St Matthews?) are inadequate and mark a failure of the County to provide neighbourhood schools.
