Application Notes:
Whilst the Town Council strongly support the essential building of new schools, Members have concerns regarding certain aspects of the application: • The road access design is inadequate - The proposed access from Squinter Pip Way is a large concern as it was felt that this wasn’t appropriate for the amount of construction traffic that will be present during the building of the schools. This needs to be addressed along with the potential impact it will have on residents. If the schools are built, it is suggested that Squinter Pip Way be reduced to a 20mph zone. • Active travel - It is also felt that the application does not fully consider active travel opportunities: there are insufficient cycling spaces and electric charging points available, and the site is too ‘car dependant’. • Sustainable energy/heating - Members were disappointed with the lack of solar panels shown in the design and felt there was opportunity to introduce more to the site. The introduction of oil-fired burners is not acceptable as any heating solution should be sustainable.
