One thought on “The unintended consequences of more housing: overcrowded schools”
I believe that the technical term for houses for which there are not school places for kids who live in them is “unsustainable”, and lack of sustainability is a sound reason (even under the NPPF) not to grant planning permission.
So it is a pity (to say the least – could alternatively be called incompetence) that the local planning bodies (district councils etc.) didn’t work this out and used it as a reason for refusing planning permission.
