Bullers Wood School for Boys, which opened in the 2020/2021 acedemic year, will meet the evidenced and significant need for school places in the London Borough, close to an all-girls school.

 

DHA's Planning and Transport teams worked closely with the project team to develop a scheme with upgraded pedestrian footway and crossings, including increased levels of on-site parent drop-off. This addressed concerns arising from an earlier planning application for the six forms of entry for the 900-pupil school.

 

Despite this and an initial resolution to grant permission, the second application was refused at Committee and taken to appeal via a Public Inquiry.

 

Commenting on the planning success, Matthew Blythin, Director at DHA, said:

This was a challenging application, but detailed transport evidence provided by our Transport team and strong planning arguments, backed up by significant local support, carried the day.
 

DHA gave expert planning and, crucially, highways evidence to the Inspector, which included a comprehensive suite of junction modelling and access design work to ensure a safe pedestrian environment was created. These designs were recognised and supported by the Inspector who allowed the appeal subject to conditions.
