In order to facilitate the residential units proposed for Ashingdon, it is important that 3 ha of land is made available for the expansion of King Edmund School, in order to accommodate the additional children generated by the new housing.
This option would be located to the north of the existing main school buildings and would be seen as an extension to the campus, and would enable access from Brays Lane. However, this option would not follow an existing field boundary to the north and would not create defensible boundaries, contrary to PPG2.
In addition, this option would also conflict with the proposed housing options (EA1, & part of EA3) proposed for East Ashingdon.
The preferred option is KES3 as this would ensure that the expansion to the school is close to the main school buildings, adjacent to existing residential (to the west), follow an existing field boundary and would enable access from Brays Lane.
