SDNP/26/02837/CND - Removal or Variation of a Condition Approved

Proposal

Application Reference Number: SDNP/25/05103/FUL Date of Decision: 26/06/2026 Condition Number(s): 4 Conditions(s) Removal: The application seeks to vary Condition 4 of planning permission SDNP/25/05103/FUL to allow pupil attendance during normal educational hours. Condition 4 presently restricts pupil attendance to between 10:00 and 14:00 Monday to Friday. This four-hour attendance window does not provide sufficient time for the approved facility to operate an appropriate and effective school day. The pupils attending the facility have a range of educational, behavioural and additional needs. Their provision requires a structured timetable that may include individual tuition, small-group teaching, therapeutic or pastoral support, supervised breaks, practical activities and carefully managed transitions between sessions. These activities cannot reasonably be accommodated within a four-hour period. Restricting attendance to 10:00-14:00 would also reduce the available teaching day once pupil arrival, settling-in, breaks, lunch and departure arrangements are taken into account. It would materially limit the curriculum and support that could be delivered and would prevent the school from providing an educational day comparable with that ordinarily available to pupils in mainstream or specialist education. Alternative Provision and SEN pupils may also require individually tailored or staggered timetables. Some pupils may attend for a full school day, while others may attend morning or afternoon sessions according to their educational needs, support plans and reintegration arrangements. The current condition does not provide sufficient flexibility to accommodate these differing patterns of attendance. The proposed variation would not increase the maximum permitted number of 28 pupils or 15 members of staff. It would not introduce evening, weekend or Bank Holiday operation, and it would not alter the approved access, parking or managed one-way drop-off arrangement. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

South Downs National Park

The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.

Agricultural land, grade 3a

Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) agrees.

Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Radon affected area, class 5

An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.

From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.

National infrastructure project 987 m away: Southampton to London Pipeline Project

The site is 987 m from the project boundary. Pipeline, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.

Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
