The risk assessment will be subject to continual review and necessarily amended as circumstances and working practices, evolve in response to the threat.

  • URN Institution Name 143129 Phoenix Academy 142905 South
    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.

  • 88 Pelham Road, Gravesend, Kent, DA11 0JB Application Description
    SUMMARY REPORT Application Ref: 20160138 Site Address: 88 Pelham Road, Gravesend, Kent, DA11 0JB Application Change of use from guest house (Class C1) to a house in Description: multiple occupation (Class C4). Applicant: Mr G Peters PCD Homes Agent: As Applicant Ward: Pelham Ward Parish: Non-Parish Area Decision due date: 02.05.2016 Publicity expiry date: 08.04.2016 Decision level: Planning Regulatory Board - 07 September 2016 Reasons for referral: At request of Cllr Brian Sangha. Concern from high number of existing conversions, balance of housing and apartments, loss of the guest house, impact on the neighbours. Recommendation: Permission subject to conditions and informatives as per the report to Board on 20 July 2016 Summary of Reasons for Recommendation This report serves as an additional assessment to the application for 88 Pelham Road. It should be considered in conjunction with the conclusions of the previous report from the Regulatory Board held on the 20th July 2016. The conclusion of the assessment set out in this report finds that there is a diverse community on Pelham Road, with a range of ages, occupations etc. The introduction of a HMO will therefore not be out of keeping due to the heterogeneous community that exists. It is noted that there is a significant level of social deprivation in the area and the provision of affordable rented accommodation will be beneficial to this group. Moreover, an assessment of the infrastructure finds that the site is adequately served by transportation due to its location and there are ample facilities within close proximity. There are a range of housing types with a clear demand for single occupancy housing which the proposal will serve.
