We are keen to hear the views

of your community and ensure local residents are involved in the development process for the site

The primary school included within this proposal relates to a new school site to enable the relocation

of Tipton St John Church of England Primary School.

Proposal for a primary school and associated residential development at Thorne Farm

The existing school site presents a risk to life

‘The present risks give rise to life threatening flood risk to all users of both (school) sites and these risks are predicted

to increase It is important that every effort is made to relocate the school to a site that is located in flood zone 1 (Low Probability) of flooding, at the earliest opportunity’.

Historic and ongoing

flooding issues in

Tipton St John

Devon County Council has been

working for a number of years to find

a solution to the significant flood risk

present at Tipton St John Primary

School Flooding has affected the

school on numerous occasions,

most recently in 2016, 2015, 2014,

2012 and 2009 Following flooding

in 2008 the school had to relocate to

the village hall while significant repair

works were undertaken

Tipton St John primary school

is in high flood risk area

The extent of flood zone 3 and its

relationship to the school is shown

on the plan to the right Flood zone 3

is the Environment Agency’s highest

risk category for flooding The severity

of the flood risk at the school and the

level of threat to pupils and staff has

been recognised by the Environment

Agency as presenting a risk to life In

order to address this issue, the most

sustainable option is to move the

school to a new site outside of flood

zone

Why can’t the school remain in Tipton St John?

7 7 7 7 7

Redevelopment of the lower school site is not possible because of its location within flood zone 3

The upper school site is too small and does not have any

of the support accommodation needed in a school

There are no suitable or available alternative sites within Tipton St John

Even if a site were to be found, this would not address the significant funding shortfall to provide a new school.

Current and future numbers of primary aged children in Tipton St John are very low It is unlikely this will change

in the future.

There are a number of reasons why it is NOT possible for the school

to remain in Tipton St John:

Why Ottery St Mary?

• A significant proportion (43%) of

children attending the school live in Ottery St Mary

• The existing primary school in Ottery

St Mary is full and this is expected to

be the case for the foreseeable future

There are more children living in the school catchment area than there are spaces available at the school.The school can’t be expanded because of constraints on the site

• Travel distances would be reduced for

the majority of pupils

• The proposed site is owned by Devon

County Council, meaning it is free of charge

• Development on the remainder of the

site will meet the funding shortfall for the new school

Solving the funding shortfall

A fundamental challenge to building a replacement school is the availability of funding

The cost of a new 210 place primary school is estimated at £7.2 million To date, £2.25 million has been secured This means there is currently

a £4.95 million shortfall in funding with no obvious funding from government

The proposed solution to meet this funding shortfall is to develop land around the

replacement school for housing Funding raised through the sale of the wider development site can then be invested in the construction of the new school

“Due to the urgent need to relocate the school and without a funding stream to support the relocation, Devon County Council has considered how best it can use its limited resources to bridge the significant gap in funding.”

Councillor James McInnes Devon County Council Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and Schools

Why 210 places?

• There are already more children living in the Ottery St Mary catchment

area than can attend the school The school is full, with over 60 pupils

in 6 of the 7 year groups There are children in the local learning community being transported due to a lack of capacity A new 210 place school would address this issue

• Future pupil cohorts also exceed the school’s published admission

number of 60 reflecting an ongoing need for additional places within the town

• Value for money - the differentiation in costs between a 105 and 210 place school is proportionately small due to the requirement for core facilities (i.e school hall)

• A single phase will minimise future disruption to the school whilst it is

in operation It will mean contractors will not need to return to site and start again within a live school environment

• Developer contributions secured to date are required to increase school capacity, not just replace existing

Recent examples of new schools built in Devon

The detailed design of the school remains

to be decided but there are a number of examples of modern school buildings recently built across Devon

The proposed site - Thorne Farm,

Ottery St Mary

Site location plan

The proposed site covers 10.3 hectares and is located north of Exeter Road It is agricultural land, which is currently let by Devon County Council

Local Plan 2016

The site is not identified for housing within the adopted East Devon Local Plan (2016), although part of the site is identified for Community and Education Use

The remainder of the site is adjacent to the

‘Built-up Area Boundary’ of the town and therefore will provide an adjoining physical expansion of the town

Doesn’t The King’s School need to expand too?

The King’s is a highly popular school and is oversubscribed annually The school is full and has high numbers in the sixth form However, around 20% of children allocated a place at the school each year are from outside the school’s catchment area

The King’s School has a published admission number of 180 and its current feeder primary schools have published admission numbers of 150, which allows an additional 30 spaces for pupils living in the catchment area This proposal in no way changes The King’s School catchment area

Devon County Council, in its role as Education Authority, has ongoing discussions with The King’s School and is content the current published admission number meets local needs The school supports this position and sees no immediate need for expansion However, 0.2 hectares of land is safeguarded for potential future secondary education provision if required in the longer term

N Devon County Council

intends to seek outline planning permission for the development of 150 homes and a 210-place primary school at the proposed site

It is proposed that 25% of homes on this site will be affordable to help meet the need for this type of housing in East Devon The concept masterplan has been developed to demonstrate how the site could be developed

Trang 11

Benefits of the proposal

Environment

• More attractive entry point into Ottery St Mary

• High retention of existing trees and hedgerows

• Minimal ecological impacts and the creation of a wildlife area

• Public open space provided

• Mitigation of flooding from site and wider area through a series of swales

• Minimal visual impact for majority of surrounding area

Transport

• Reduced average travel distances for the majority of pupils

• Extension of 30mph speed limit on approach to the town

• Pedestrian and cycle friendly

• A new bus stop provided

• Allows Cadhay Lane to become access only to school, leisure centre and local housing, with through traffic from Cadhay Lane being

diverted away from the school

• Residents travelling to Exeter and the west (for work, shopping, leisure or other services) will not need to drive through the town so minimal traffic impact

Community

• Approximately 37 affordable homes for the community

• 25% of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) contribution to be invested by the Town Council in local community facilities

• Children’s play park

• Improved access to the skate park

• Potential community use of school

• Creation of construction jobs for a 2 – 3 year period

Education

• Provision of a purpose-built modern school which will improve wellbeing, safeguarding and quality of the learning environment

• Increased school places within the town

• Increased pre-school places within the town

• Land is safeguarded for potential future secondary education provision if required in the longer term

• To resolve site safety issues for children and staff at Tipton St John Primary School
