Where a new school is earmarked for an area, why isn’t there a specific site identified?
Any new school building would need to be subject to the local planning development framework and guidelines. This would include detailed studies of available and appropriate sites, prior to the submission of a full planning application. For this reason the Local Authority can only identify the broad area location in which the new build would be sought at this stage.
