GAM 8 Reuse of first school buildings
We suggest that rather than stating a set period over which the site is safeguarded and could remain empty that the site is safeguarded unless it can be demonstrated that the site has been marketed for a period at a realistic price for educational and community uses, and nothing has been forthcoming.
Within the policy the first sentence ends with a collection of letters as examples. (Eg. (a,b,e,f,g)) We are not clear what this means.
We have previously suggested that the policy could have as a requirement that a design guide/masterplan be prepared for the site. Such a brief could clarify policies and their application to the site. There may be different interests in the development of the site, and these may sometimes conflict. The preparation of a brief provides an opportunity for such conflicts to be resolved and provide sound urban design principles to the development of the site.
