Of course you can have a say - that is what this is all about. Traffic is a concern for some undoubtably .
The highways will take everyone's concerns into account and will approve planning if they feel it is safe.
I can't see many people coming along ruins barn road for the school however.
Let us also remember that this land belongs to KCC and has been designated use for education so anyone buying a house in the locality would have been told this Before purchasing. If the build doesn't go ahead, I wonder if KCC will keep the land???
We all have different views but need to work out a solution that is best for all and that includes traffic concerns.

Unfortunately the"fact" about being told that the land is designated for education will only come up if you ask for a specific search and most people do not do this search. Also again when many of the people in Tunstall Road bought the houses it was not designated for anything except for farming. Again just becuase KCC own the land does not mean they can steamroller other peoples views and opinions. With regards to Ruins Barn I have not mentioned that anyone will be driving down it to go to the school, however with increased tarffic coming up woodstock for the science park and now perhaps the school, cromers corner will become congested and I have no doubt so will the entrance to the school which again will have an impact on cromers corner junction so you will not only be affecting local residents but now science park employee's. Having read many of the comments and heard that a lot of this is being blamed on local people (some opposite the current school) and the parish council do you not think that if this school gets built the opposition will get worse as it will ultimately effect more people than the current school does.

As a Church school where has the vicar been in all this, surely it would have been good for him to visit all the local people along with perhaps a mailer from the current school detailing it's plans and maybe organising an open day for locals to see what the village school was actually like, you may well have gained a few more supporters. This would have been the curteous way to act.
