Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31603

Received: 12/08/2017

Respondent: Ms Anna Le Gouais

Representation Summary:

Do not allow the primary school to open at the start of the development - there are plenty of primary schools in Cherry Hinton and the surrounding area which are currently not full and losing pupils to the new school will seriously harm them. (Cherry Hinton CoE Primary, Colville, Bewick Bridge, Teversham, Fen Ditton all have spaces, including potential for another class intake at Colville.)
Also do not allow S106 contributions to be spent on a school - the Department for Education should fund new schools, not developers. The S106 should be spent on other community facilities.
