New Code On Local School Provision Published
A new code of practice published on Friday will mean local authorities will be obliged to provide enough schools to meet demand when drawing up development plans.
The document will obligate councils to partake in research and forecasts to ensure enough school places are available to demand, and to incorporate the requirements into their planning procedures.
It also sets out plans for school provisions through development plans and local area plans, which is intended to make planners sculpt new town developments around their schools.
The code of practice is part of a wider package of initiatives designed to facilitate the provision of school infrastructure within the planning system.
