CS9 - Promoting Better Education

The Council and its partners will ensure that all residents, especially young people in the Borough have access to high quality educational facilities by:

A) providing enough primary, secondary and further education places so that all young residents in the Borough can be educated to a high standard;

B) making sure that facilities are sustainably designed, energy efficient and easily accessible by sustainable transport modes;

C) providing access to play spaces, local playing fields and sporting facilities;

D) requiring new school proposals including extended schools to be developed as community hubs whereby they are accessible to the general public outside school hours; and

E) safeguarding land in the identified key growth areas of Blackhorse Lane, Northern Olympic Fringe, Walthamstow and Wood Street and at other opportunity locations identified in the Site Specific Allocations Document.
