What if the DfE decides not to finance a secondary school at the Stag Brewery site in Mortlake, as is now being openly discussed as a possibility?

The section 106 agreement attached to the Inspector’s decision has a Schedule 4 which provides for what could happen in the event of the secondary school not going ahead.

In the event that the School Development does not come forward on the School Land, a number of supplemental obligations are necessary to make the Main Development acceptable in planning terms.

Schedule 4, drafted with a high degree of convolution, makes mention of Community Park Specification and an approved Enhanced Playspace Scheme. EastSheenMatters would be delighted to hear from anyone who understands the meaning of Schedule 4. The gist of it seems to be that the area would revert to being a Community Park, though still in the ownership of the developers. If as many have thought desirable for some years, a plan was to be formulated for Thomson House School to move to the site, it would require a further planning application.
