The Director of Children and Families submitted a report on proposals brought forward to meet the Local Authority’s duty to ensure a sufficiency of school places, which supported the achievement of the Best Council priority to improve educational achievement and close achievement gaps. Specifically, the submitted report described the outcome of the consultation process regarding proposals to expand primary school provision at Allerton Church of England Primary School and which sought permission to publish a statutory notice in respect of such proposals.

 

Responding to a Member’s enquiry, it was noted that concerns which had been raised in respect of highways and parking issues were being picked up via the associated consultation exercise, whilst assurances were provided that the implementation of any proposals would be taken through the normal planning procedures.
