The proposals seek to construct a two-storey modular classroom with toilet facilities within the curtilage of the above-mentioned site. The Local Highway Authority (LHA) would not wish to raise any in-principle objections to the proposed development.

As the development would lead to an increase in the number of staff employed at the site, it will be necessary to update any existing or (if one is not currently in place) provide a School Travel Plan to reflect the changes proposed and to assist in the monitoring and management of the transport impacts associated with the school.

Travel plans for non-residential developments are recommended to be created and managed using iTRACE, an online travel plan management tool available through the Council. The applicant should contact Plymouth Transport and Infrastructure for site-specific advice prior to preparing the Travel Plan.
