Dacorum Local Plan - where do the schools go?
'The one about schools'. This map shows the proposed primary schools and secondary schools in VERY APPROXIMATE locations. Cllr Uttley literally just put them in the housing allocation area to which they relate. It's like pin the tail on the donkey when you don't cheat! . You may also note the stars by the schools north of Grovehill (eastern site). This is because this housing site and all that goes with it is proposed for after 2038 so isn't even in this Local Plan period. There is an awful lot of time for this allocation to change and so it should therefore be consumed with lots of salt! More questions? This is the link to the fairly easy to interpret 'Proposals and Sites' document for Hemel. Honestly, this one is actually pretty easy reading. https://www.dacorum.gov.uk/.../part-3---local-plan... Remember, the more people that respond to this consultation the better, take a look, tell your friends, GET INVOLVED!
