I have already commented on the number of houses that have already been built and are proposed. With an existing additional 700 houses that have already been built i would ask why a primary school has not already been built. Surely the area has needed a school for sometime and should not be built only when an additional 300 houses have been completed.

There is indeed a demand for schools in the area already.
So many children already travel much further than is desirable and add to the volume of traffic.
We shouldn't have to wait until 300 houses are built when we have already had 700 houses built in the last 5 years.

This Policy is not suitable and I Object. This will cause issues with increased traffic, noise, pollution, wildlife and the loss of a very popular Scraptoft golf club which is enjoyed by its members. The local residents and community do not want the village to lose its small community. There has been already a large number of poor quality homes built within Srraptoft and along Keyham lane west which has impacted Scraptoft village leading to traffic and noise. Furthermore and there are no community services to facilitate these residents.

I object to this whole huge development, as primary school places are already over-subscribed within the area. The additional 300 houses before a new school is built will add to the already overcrowded classes and traffic problems.

Due to the amount of housing already being built in Thurnby and Scraptoft at the moment, the primary school would need to be built IMMEDIATLY not after ANOTHER 300 houses. and as it would take years before it could operate as a full primary school NO further housing should be allowed until it was actually operational.
Building this school would NOT alleviate problems of senior school children and where they could go without extra travelling involved.

Scaptoft should remain a small village and therefore a school will bring a heavy traffic load, noise, pollution and litter, congestion.

Respondent: THURNBY AND BUSHBY Parish Council
The Parish Council is concerned at the trigger point for schools and what will happen in the interim until trigger points are reached. What provision is there within the current primary school provision at Fernvale and St Luke's primary schools to meet the interim needs of families moving into the SDA?

Provision trigger point for primary school is not supported by evidence and not justified. The requirement to deliver the school to this programme may limit the location within the site.
The timing of delivery should be tested through the proposed' Delivery and Phasing Programme'. This may also consider the potential phasing of the school (e.g. phased opening).
Community facilities 3.e. a two-form entry primary school to be provided soon after completion of 300 dwellings.
This policy element has a specific requirement for provision of the full two-form entry school 'soon after completion of 300 dwellings'. We are not aware however, of any evidence to support or justify this specific figure.
We are aware that there is limited capacity within existing primary schools locally and that provision of the new primary school will be required early within the development programme, to ensure sufficient spaces are available to meet the needs of new residents. However, we consider that the timing/programme of the school should be subject to a specific assessment to determine the timing of its provision.
We suggest that this is subject to testing through the proposed 'Delivery and Phasing Programme' (see below). This would determine with some certainty and verified by the education authority, that the timing is appropriate and achievable. It may also consider the potential phasing of the school (for instance phased opening) to meet the additional requirements generated specifically by the development of the SDA.
We also outline issues with the timing and location of the school under 3.r. below. The requirement to deliver the school to this programme may limit the location within the site.
