Planning committee
Decided by Waltham Forest Planning Committee on 3 Mar 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the scheme would improve school facilities and meet demand without unacceptable amenity, environmental or highway impacts.
- Residents raised concerns about construction disruption, traffic, parking, noise, pollution and bus services; all five formal representations objected.
- The committee granted permission subject to conditions, informatives and a unilateral undertaking covering biodiversity, highways, energy and monitoring.
