Respondent: Suffolk County Council

The delivery of development particularly in South Norfolk of the Greater Norwich Local Plan and in South Norfolk Council’s separate village clusters plan is of interest. SCC would appreciate information on how Suffolk’s education infrastructure may be affected by increased pupil demand arising from any new development. Relevant existing provision, catchment schools and associated mitigation will need to be considered in respect to upcoming development plans. SCC welcomes communication about the aforementioned, in order to proactively promote synergy for schools cross-boundary.
Regarding Early Years provision, the wards of Fressingfield and Palgrave are the nearest wards to Harleston and Diss. Considering the upcoming growth in the area, forecasts for Fressingfield show an overall potential deficit in places. Upcoming growth is unlikely to be accommodated and alleviated by Suffolk provision due to existing pressure and Full Time Employment provision.
