Comment on location of Primary Education provision needing to be adjacent/within growth areas as opposed to relying on existing capacity within City.
Para 4.85. Primary Education. Currently in the Chichester school place planning locality there is spare capacity in some of the within City schools, but limited or no capacity in those in surrounding Parishes. Consideration is needed with regards the transport and family management implications of pupils living in adjacent (to City) Parishes having to attend within City schools, particularly as major growth is proposed to East of the City, away from schools with current spare capacity and the degree of road network congestion. This issue would appear to require some reference in this paragraph and reinforces the requirement for early provision of enhanced primary education facilities within and/or adjacent to allocations at Hunston, Oving/Shopwyke, Tangmere and Westhampnett.
