One should also query the proposed location. Masking this as an expansion of Tunstall school is I believe a little misguided. There has been zero housing growth in this area for decades. It is surrounded by farming land that is used to produce profitable crops. Why does it need a bigger school? Why not put the school where the new estates are? This would cut cross town traffic (and we all know how bad Sittingbourne traffic is), it would encourage children to walk to school thus promoting a number of benefits to the community.

Putting the school at an end of town where there isn't a new increase in population is highly questionable.
