Will you make available space on the Peel Centre site for free school premises, in addition to the proposed primary school?

MOPAC is currently disposing of surplus land on the Peel Centre site, and there is a requirement for a three form entry primary school (plus nursery) to be provided there.

Question No: 2021 / 2013

What assessment have you made of the impact on the existing resident population of the extensive development in Colindale , including your proposals for the Peel Centre site?
Written response from the Mayor
The Peel Centre scheme forms part of the London Borough of Barnet’s Colindale Area Action Plan (AAP) which assesses the needs of the current and future residents of the area in a strategic manner.  The Plan anticipates the construction of 10,000 new homes in the area over the next 10 – 15 years to meet borough-wide and London requirements.
A number of studies, including transport, have been conducted to support the AAP to ensure the area is suitable for the planned investment. It is for the Local Authority to consider any town planning applications submitted in regard to the Peel Centre Site.
As outlined in my 2020 Vision, I have identified Colindale as a key Opportunity Area.
