What are these "Castle School ASPIRATIONS?"


Following the draft publication of the revised Core Strategy, and the near total re-write of the "Thornbury" section, a number of additional considerations are being brought into focus by planners, perhaps none more interesting than "Castle School Aspirations for consolidation onto a single site". This is an aspiration that even governors/teachers/parents/pupils ie the existing stakeholders seem to know nothing about, but it is now being wielded as one of the central justifications for pushing Park Farm as the preferred site for new housing developments in Thornbury. Read Chris Rickard's letter to councillors and council Leader John Calway, by clicking on this link for further fascinating insights into the secret world of planners. See also her letter to local councillor Clare Fardell.
You can also read my own letter to councillors sitting on
the Joint Meeting of the Planning, Transport and Strategic Environment Select Committee and Development Control Committees.
