Designated open space in the local plan, there is a current policy against the development on open  space within the adopted council development plan. The site itself is very well used by local children and the elderly for walking and ad-hoc recreational use. There are clear historic examples where the council has refused development on open space. The council has a clear policy of integrating nursery education in primary schools this would be a standalone nursery. The council would be aware of the current traffic issues within the area. Particularly with regards to on street parking. Despite this proposal having identified a car park, the generation of a additional traffic would only add to this issue.
