Disposal of School Playing Fields; Former Sedgeford Primary School site

Overview

Norfolk County Council wishes to dispose of the school playing fields at the former Sedgeford Primary School, Ringstead Road, Sedgeford, Norfolk, PE36 5NQ (which was closed on 31 August 2020, because of low pupil numbers).

Norfolk County Council is required to achieve best consideration from the disposal of its property assets and in this case it is anticipated this is most likely to be achieved through the disposal of the property for residential redevelopment.

Any residential development proposal would be subject to a full planning submission to the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, which would involve consultation with the public.

Please note; There is a separate process to dispose of the school buildings with the Secretary of State, which is not part of this consultation.

Why your views matter

We would like to hear your views on our proposal.

What happens next

We will collate all responses received in response to this consultation.

If we need any further information from you, we will contact you via your email address.

Following the consultation process, all comments will be forwarded along with the application under S77 of the School Standards and Frameworks Act to the Secretary of State for Education, who will consider these and will make a decision on the proposal to dispose of the land at the former Sedgeford Primary School, Ringstead Road, Sedgeford, Norfolk, PE36 5NQ.
