Section 4.96 – Development at Little Barford:
Without safeguards to prevent the proposed 2 x new primary schools and 1 x Secondary School taking pupils away from Roxton Primary School RPC object to this aspect of policy HOU19. By way of background the report states that there is a lack of capacity in local schools but according to the Headteacher of Roxton Primary School they are at only at 50% Capacity.
Should policy HOU19 become adopted RPC request any masterplan for the development should be environmental and landscape lead with particular emphasis on delivering linkage beyond the boundary of the allocation site to existing bridleways, cycle paths and walking routes to ensure sustainable modes of linking up to other local villages such as Roxton.
