Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

DfE supports the Council’s prioritisation of education infrastructure, and the allocation and safeguarding of land for schools as set out in the following policies: Ipswich Garden Suburb (Policy CS10) – 1 secondary school and 3 primary schools. DfE loans to forward fund schools as part of large residential developments may be of interest, for example if viability becomes an issue. Please see the Developer Loans for Schools prospectus for more information. Any offer of forward funding would seek to maximise developer contributions to education
infrastructure provision while supporting delivery of schools where and when they are needed.

Change suggested by respondent:
