MAT objects to this policy on the basis that the proposed approach unnecessarily delays meeting housing need and more specifically the identified requirements for expansion at Lincroft Academy. This is inconsistent with PPG ID: 68-021-20190722 and development that prioritises delivery of the required expansion and improvements should be supported as a solution to the unreasonably ‘stepped’ trajectory.
