General Policy 2
GP2 sets general standards for acceptable development, including that any development should respect the site in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design (GP2(b)).

Community Policy 5
CP5 seeks that proposals to improve or extend existing schools must have particular regard to the potential for community use. Given the nature of the minor proposal and land designation as Primary School, it was considered relevant but posed no issues.
