Gen6 – Education

Proposals to extend an existing education facility to provide for additional educational uses and/or to establish a nursery school/play group, will be supported, provided:

  • the design of the scheme is proportionate to the site and will not compromise the permanent open character of the Green Belt;
  • the scheme minimises the built up area of the education site by locating new buildings within or adjoining the existing building or cluster of buildings;
  • the scheme will deliver the necessary supporting infrastructure, including car parking.

Proposals that will result in the loss, or significant reduction in the scale, of an existing educational facility will be resisted, unless suitable alternative facilities are provided.
