DM13: Community and Education Uses

Loss of community or educational use

Loss of community or educational use will only be acceptable in exceptional circumstances where:

  1. New community or education use of at least equivalent quality or quantity are provided on the site or at a suitable alternative location; or
  2. There is no demand for continued community or education use, and that the site has been marketed effectively for such use.

New community or educational use

New community or educational uses should be located where they are accessible by public transport, walking and cycling, preferably in town centres or local centres.

New community or educational uses should ensure that there is no significant impact on the free flow of traffic and road safety. New community or educational uses will be expected to protect the amenity of residential properties.
