Not currently a need for First School places and so land East of Bilbrook is generating its own school place needs - the infrastructure is being generated out of the development when it should be the other way around. This method is also established in the 2019 IDP, and such a justification is contrary to planning and GB policy.
It is disagreed that Site 222 (Sandy Lane, Codsall) could not deliver a First School for 3 reasons: Firstly, no approach to the landowner (Hallam Land) has been made. Secondly there is not need for the school as there is sufficient nearby provision. Thirdly the provision of infrastructure is an inappropriate methodology for the selection of GB release.
Site 519 fails the GB purposes 1 and 3 as set out n the 2019 GB Study. It is not understood how Site 519 does not fail GB purpose 2.
The issue of providing infrastructure is not specifically mentioned in the Issues and Challenges section of the PO.
Site 224 (land off Station Road, Codsall) has been justified by its ability to provide railway station car park when this has already been provided this is an illogical justification.
Site 222 (Sandy Lane, Codsall) could provide recreation/open space.
