Downham Special Needs School

Plymouth City Council plans to dispose of the site of the former Downham Special School in Plymstock.  Will the Council take any notice of comments sent by the public regarding what should go on that site in future?

 

Response:

The Council will always take notice of any comments made by the public on any matter including the former Downham Special School site in Plymstock.  In this case we acknowledge the representations received in relation to potential future uses of the site; however I would confirm that the site has been identified to provide much needed housing for our City as part of the ‘Plan for Homes’.

 

The successful bidder will be encouraged to carry out consultation with the public prior to submitting a planning application and the public will have the opportunity to comment on the application in the usual democratic way through the planning process.
