Generic requirements in the overall allocation IP048a cause potential conflict with the delivery of a Primary School expediently at the site. The requirement to develop residential uses at upper floors would not be necessarily wholly deliverable with a Primary School and therefore we propose that the supporting text to the allocation makes clear that residential accommodation should only be provided where feasible and appropriate. The allocation wording is too restrictive regarding retention of the locally listed façade. The requirement for a development brief is unnecessary. The school element should be a separate allocation. (See also SP2 & Opportunity Area C).
We propose that: the supporting text to the allocation makes clear that residential accommodation should only be provided where feasible and appropriate; the wording be amended to reflect the requirements in the NPPF regarding assessment of an asset's significance and the distinction between designated and non-designated assets; the development brief requirement be removed; the school component of allocation IP048a be stripped out from the policy and included as a separate allocation.

Site Sheet for Site IP048a - This part of the plan is not sound because it is not effective. Included among the uses of this site should be an early years setting to accompany the new primary school. The 60 place early years setting, which is necessary on this site to mitigate impacts of plan growth, is accounted for in Table 8a of the Core Strategy document. However, this should also be included on the site sheet in order to provide certainty in delivering an early years setting on this site.
