It has been prepared by the Hampshire County Council’s School Travel Planning Team to support the submission of a planning application for an expansion to the existing school buildings with the provision of 15 additional car parking spaces and a motorcycle bay for staff. This is to enable an increase from the current PANs of 70 (infants) and 66 (juniors) to 3FE (90 PAN) for both, equivalent to an additional 156 places. Support has been provided by the school in its preparation. This travel plan should be read in conjunction with the Transport Statement being prepared by HCC Strategic Transport Team.
