Education infrastructure cannot be cited as a constraint to Boxgrove Parish accommodating a higher (strategic level) of growth and this should be reflected in the Plan, with the existing Boxgrove CoE Primary School having the potential land to extend on-site and/ or there being adequate capacity at the proposed 2FE Tangmere Primary School to accommodate a strategic level of growth within Boxgrove Parish.

Evidence shows that 1000 new homes generate circa 210 new Primary School pupils. The proposed 2FE Primary School at Tangmere Parish would accommodate circa 2,000 new pupils. The proposed Strategic Allocation for Tangmere (including the existing adopted Local Plan allocation) proposes 1,300 additional homes at Tangmere, therefore leaving a residual capacity for the proposed 2FE Primary School to accommodate an additional 700 homes within the Tangmere and surrounding Parishes. The pupil catchment map confirms that WSCC have accepted pupils to Boxgrove CoE Primary School from the Tangmere Parish and visa versa.
