Issue details

Doncaster Council are self-delivering the new SEN school on vacant land behind Hungerhill School, with funding from DfE, following a successful free school bid.

The DfE will make funds available for drawdown to deliver the project following the granting of planning permission. The aspirational opening date of the school is 1 September 2020, which requires work to begin as soon as possible should planning permission be granted at the Extraordinary Planning Committee meeting scheduled for 30 July 2019

Following the receipt of the project funds from the DfE, the £200,000 will be reallocated back to the Basic Needs Allocation.
