• A sports field would back onto the rear of nearby properties
• There would be two areas of car parking proposed, one with a one way in and out system

• A signal controlled pedestrian crossing between southern car park exit on Weedon Road and the junction with Holman Street.
• Altered road markings for turning into and out of the site

·         There had been an objection from a resident on Holman Street on the basis that it had already been used as a cut through and parking for the school, Ms Kelham commented that the Highway Authority had advised the removal of general access form Holman Street would help alleviate this
