A new document published as part of the process of drawing up the new Enfield Local Plan indicates that St Anne's school are proposing closing their site in Palmers Green so that it can be redeveloped for housing.
The sixth form centre at St Anne's School in Oakthorpe Road was built only a few years ago, but it now appears that the school is proposing closing its Palmers Green site
The long and slow process of formulating the new Enfield Local plan grinds on, producing ever more voluminous paperwork. One of the new documents recently sent by the council to the planning inspector in response to demands for new or reformulated information includes a table with the following entry:
Decoding the cryptic terminology, what this means is that St Anne's was previously proposing that the site of its school in Enfield Town should be offered up for developers to build housing (with the junior school presumably relocating to Palmers Green?), but now they have reversed their position and instead wish to retain the Enfield Town site and instead offer up the Oakthorpe Road site for housing.
When I saw this the week before last, I emailed St Anne's asking if they had any comments for publication. However, I have not heard back from them.
