Cabinet received a report following a referral from Councillor John Holdich, Lead Member for Education, Skills and University.
The purpose of the report was to outline to Cabinet the proposal around meeting the statutory requirement for school places in Peterborough. The School Organisation Plan drew together the latest demographic data, the capital programme and identified the need for further school places. It also acted to support the growth agenda of the council, including delivery of the ambitions set out in the Peterborough Local Plan.
Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED:
To approve the School Organisation Plan in light of the pressures on school places and in terms of planning growth in the city.
The report is for Cabinet to approve. Appropriate action is being undertaken to deliver the statutory requirement for school places.
The alternative option is not to adopt this strategy, however the impact will be a lack of co-ordination around new housing development and negotiations with developers and a lack of clarity for the public around the council’s intentions around school place planning.
None.
None.
