Object, but would support;- provided Swim start facility, class room, parking, green space is secured with CAT (namely Buildings facing onto Hothfield St) & existing buildings are converted to sheltered housing.
Note the playground adjacent to Norton St could be excavated for underground water storage(rain water harvesting) flood mitigation then car parking on completion. The surrounding residential properties (Barrett St., Skipton Rd etc) often suffer with flooding in cellars in winter months and after heavy rainfall. Poor drainage in area.
Solar panels could be incorporated into design and a shared heating system. Electric feed in to grid via unit on site.
Traffic; - Site should not impact on Elliott St/A6034, residents use Skipton Rd (as most school users do) lower traffic at peak times, close to town centre (encourage walking)
Sheltered housing will enable local elderly to downsize, provide disability access, whilst achieving target of 21 units possibly more.
