Table 8B refers to three 420-place primary schools. The County Council requires three 315-place primary schools as the minimum necessary resulting from the development. Experience of other large greenfield developments suggests that they generate greater demand for education places than existing housing. It is intended that land is provided such that the schools can be constructed with a larger (420-place) capacity, if monitoring of the number of children emanating from the development necessitates it. In the initial phases, the primary schools will not be constructed for more than 315 pupils each; this enables flexibility whilst meeting statutory requirements for proportionality.
