Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council
(Education) The Council is supportive of the objective for the Opportunity Areas in Cambridge. The new Opportunity Areas, S/OA/NR (Newmarket Rd Retail Park) and S/OA/BC (Beehive Centre) both fall within the St. Matthew’s Primary School catchment. St. Matthew’s is a restricted site. Whilst the existing school cannot expand any further to mitigate any potential children from potential housing in the OAs, the intention to ‘improve…infrastructure delivery’ in the OAs could enable longer-term solutions for the school’s needs, e.g., new-build and relocation as part of the holistic approach outlined.
