School's new playing fields threatened by trees and green space
Plans to build new school sports facilities on a former golf course are in doubt following criticism over the potential loss of green space.
The letter added that the site, “may only represent a small percentage of the overall acreage of the park, but it’s an important area of greenbelt meadow land with some significant trees adjacent to an existing local nature reserve and area of ancient woodland. The applicants’ representative Maria Dychala, said that the scheme was being driven by a huge increase in pupils at Cockburn, which has been taken on at the council’s request. As a result, the school has a “deficit” of outdoor sporting facilities, she said. The current sports pitches at the school are also prone to flooding in the winter, the meeting was told.
“Sport in school has been under pressure during austerity, but this is a school wanting to expand its sporting facilities. This used to be a golf course. Golf courses are ecological deserts, but this will result in a biodiversity net gain.”
