Representation Summary:

Option KES3

Whilst the southern part of this site is well related to the school and its existing buildings in particular, the northern part of the site relates less well to the school. New sports pitches in this location would be divorced from the existing sports pitches and recreation areas and also buildings in this northern part of the site would be some distance from the core of existing school buildings.

In view of the above, this option is less desirable than Option KES2, as the latter is extremely well related to the school.

Representation Summary:

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 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, which would create a defensible Green Belt boundary, and would enable access from Brays Lane.

The proposed residential option (SEA1), would enable the formation of a Greenway (incorporating pedestrian and cycle routes) between the school and the town centre (to the south), improving the accessibility to the school by means other than private car.
