Ashmount School
Ashmount Primary School site
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 has therefore prepared a planning brief to guide any future development on the Ashmount Primary School site. The 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; and
- Encourage development that promotes walking, cycling and public transport and minimises the impacts of car travel.
