Site Considerations
The Angley Road site is highlighted as a realistic option due to educational designation, access, and established school use.
Candidate Site
- The existing Angley Road site in Cranbrook is identified as the leading option.
- Campaign notes suggest capacity for a small secondary annex and potential coexistence with existing SEND provision on part of the site.
- Community action has already protected parts of the site as local assets.
Practical Factors
- Strong road access and existing parking infrastructure.
- Likely planning advantages due to prior educational use, subject to formal planning process.
- Environmental benefit from reducing long individual travel distances.
Deliverability Risks
- Freehold ownership and trust alignment are major dependencies.
- The campaign stresses that governance and ethos of any operating trust are critical to outcomes.
