Consultation process
A period of consultation with a range of stakeholders took place from 4th July 2017 ending on 15th September 2017 and preceded the publication of the statutory proposals on 9th November 2017. The Public Notice period of four weeks ended on 7th December 2017.
The majority of responses to the informal consultation (92%) were positive, however concern was raised by some in regard to improving accommodation and the current car-parking and bus drop-off arrangements at the school. These matters will be considered further and dealt with as part of the planning process. There were 7 objections to the Statutory Notice received, including those from Malmesbury CE Primary School and Malmesbury Town Council.
