Land North of Cherry Hinton SPD

Representation ID: 31737

Received: 01/10/2017

Respondent: St Andrew's Church

Representation Summary:

Given the number of unfilled places in the existing local primary schools, it is questionable whether the provision of a primary school on this site is in the best public interest and represents best value for the taxpayer. The effect of a 2FE rather than single form entry primary risks making at least one of the existing schools unsustainable. In addition, primary school playing fields rarely serve the whole community as they are fenced off.
