Purpose

The Local
Authority must consider and decide on the educational need for the
Neptune Wharf development site. The decision to expand or provide
new provision will be decided upon the evidence of emerging need.
The Cabinet report will outline whether the council intends to
reject the site, or to recommend to take the site. It
is anticipated that construction at the site would commence from
2026/27, with provision available from 2027/28.

Under the agreement, LLDC must provide the developer of the Neptune
Wharf site with ‘written notice’, by September 2023,
which must be accompanied by
1. evidence of approval to construct the school through the
appropriate governance route (i.e. cabinet approval);
and
2. a programme of implementation and opening of the school
including the anticipated appointment of the principal
contractor.
