NEGATIVES
The fact that KCC own the land is the ONLY reason it's being put here.
The children can hardly walk up Tunstall Road to the church, no footways, so will have to circumvent the roads to get there. Then what? 420 children won't fit in, the church cannot cope with the 210 they have at the moment. At least there are footways, but are you seriously expecting children to walk from Lynsted, Newington, Wormshill, Rodmersham, let alone Iwade etc. I would love to know how many children that go to the current school live in Sterling, Roseleigh, Park Drive, Chegworth or Crancrook! Perhaps you know
As for the on site parking, it's less that the village hall carpark, and a 39 place carpark will not be enough when school is at full capacity - so guess what, they will use the drop off/collect area, so where will parents go??
Do you really consider the pedestrian crosses as good! Outside of driveways, crossing a busy road, with infants
As for the pond, I have never seen it empty. An accident waiting to happen. Or Flooding. I do hope that you are one of those near the new site, when in rains, and the very real possibility of sewage ends up on Tunstall Road
Land for schools should be without cost to KCC. FACT. And I have looked into the cost of buying Grade 2.Agricultural Land. Between £7000 - £10000 per acre!!!

POSITIVES
The school deserves better than this. The children deserve better than this. The residents deserve better than this
