I wholeheartedly agree with development of wet woodlands, planting trees, green spaces for the community and pedestrian/cycle paths. What I don't agree with is putting a primary school on a wholly inappropriate site with inappropriate infrastructure to accommodate it.
This area has old narrow roads and a notoriously dangerous corner where a number of narrow roads meet and you are proposing to substantially increase the amount of traffic.
We also have three other primary schools less than 1/4mile from this site, if there is a need for more school places then surely extending those schools is a better option?
