Many East Devon schools at 95%+ capacity and still we allow rampant development

The following schools are oversubscribed or at 95% or more capacity and still we allow free-for-all development without infrastructure:
 
In East Devon:
 
Woodbury Church of England Primary, Broadclyst Primary, Exeter Road Primary and Brixington Primary schools in Exmouth, West Hill Primary near Ottery St Mary, Kilmington Primary, Stockland Primary near Honiton, Lady Seaward’s Primary at Clyst St George and Mrs Ethelston’s Primary near Axminster, are all over subscribed. 
 
This autumn, six more East Devon primary schools join the list by being at 95 per cent capacity or over: Ottery St Mary, Bassetts Farm Primary in Exmouth, Sidbury Church of England Primary School, The Beacon Church of England Primary School, St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Exmouth and Feniton Church of England School.

One thought on “Many East Devon schools at 95%+ capacity and still we allow rampant development”

  1. NPPF has a presumption in favour of “sustainable development”, but how is a development “sustainable” if the children of the new home-owners cannot get a school place, or the new home-owners cannot register with their local doctor because he is over-subscribed.
