I would like to object in the strongest possible terms to these sites being considered for development. Whilst I understand the pressure to develop land for housing, I believe that more brownfield sites will become available once the effects of the Covid pandemic have been fully realised. Also, the document states that these sites have the potential to deliver a major positive effect for residents on the education SA Objective. This is only the case if there is ample exisiting provision. Currently there is not.
