Ashmount Primary School site
A public consultation for the draft planning brief for the Ashmount Primary School site is being held between Monday 6 February and Friday 16 March 2012.
Ashmount Primary School will relocate to a new site in Crouch Hill in October 2012 and the current Ashmount Primary School site will become vacant.
The Council is preparing a draft planning brief to guide any future development on the Ashmount Primary School site. This text briefly summarises the draft planning brief. It also tells you how you can find out more. We would like your views on the draft planning brief.
Planning briefs play an important role in helping to shape how a site could be developed and what benefits the development should bring to the local community. It will be used to guide decisions on future planning applications for the site.
Our objectives for any future development of the Ashmount Primary School site include to:
- Develop the Ashmount Primary School site to provide new homes with at least
50% affordable housing - Ensure that all new buildings are of a high quality design which contributes to
the character of the Conservation Area and are an appropriate scale and
massing for the surrounding context - Improve the quality of the street environment and public spaces in and adjoining
the site - Maintain the number and quality of trees on the site
- Ensure that any development meets the appropriate standards for accessibility
and inclusivity - Achieve the highest possible standards of sustainable design and construction to
mitigate and adapt to climate change - Encourage development that promotes walking, cycling and public transport and
minimises the impacts of car travel
