New Local Plan
8.1 Are there any specific issues regarding educational provision that you consider need to be addressed with respect to new development
Representation ID: 3873

In some instances (not always in this Borough) primary school provision is made for new developments but little, if any ,provision for secondary education, often resulting in children & young people having to travel long distances. This can cause financial pressures on parents / carers in terms of public transport and can also contribute to increased use of car journeys doing the school run.

Transport routes around those new developments are also key in helping education be accessible.
Quality of buildings – environmental measures in terms of rain water harvesting, low energy costs (consider fuel poverty), cooling of homes etc
Cycle paths. Well maintained and attractive paths / trails to encourage people to walk more and explore the local area & environment
Air Quality & reliance on combustion engine – what are the alternatives? Availability of electric vehicle charging points around the borough
Is there anywhere suitable for a decent park & ride scheme to reduce congestion and traffic fumes in the borough?
Signage to parks / open spaces / more outdoor fitness equipment along the seafront, on the beach - make the use of that equipment part of our culture (seems to work in various European destinations)
Consideration could be given to offsite provision if it meant amalgamating small provision into a larger space to create greater capacity and more benefit to communities. Thought would need to be given to access routes to off-site provision and also what the implications for the original development and its residents would be if those locations did not have any open space or play areas at all.
Yes – this should be a given and will encourage more people to be attracted to moving to / staying in the borough or doing business here.
