Decision details

Cabinet considered a report on the proposed expansion of Park Lane School. Macclesfield.

A need for the Council to increase its specialist provision in the Macclesfield locality had been identified, with 39% of pupils from this area requiring specialist provision travelled outside Cheshire East, with the average journey being over an hour away. 

Park Lane School had expressed an interest to expand its current provisions and the report detailed the outcome of the statutory public notice and subsequent 4 weeks statutory representation period.

RESOLVED:  That Cabinet 

1          approve the proposed expansion of Park Lane School, Macclesfield from 82 places to 122 places over a phased period; and

2          delegate authority to the Executive Director People to implement all actions considered necessary or expedient, with budget allocation, to procure and deliver the construction of the proposed expansion.
