Respondent: Mr Stephen Stacey

Representation Summary:

Within safe and healthy communities, schooling and education has a key part to play. I suggest that the following excerpt from the NPPF is considered for section 13.
"Local authorities should take a proactive, positive and collaborative approach to the development of schools by working with schools promoters to identify and resolve key issues before applications are submitted. In determining planning applications for schools, local planning authorities should attach very significant weight to the desirability of establishing new schools and to enabling local people to do so."
It would be good if this were included in PO13.
