Educational Needs Assessments.

Building on our planning and demographic capabilities, we have developed expertise in assessing the need for educational infrastructure. We regularly assist applicants to ensure that proportionate and timely contributions towards educational infrastructure is provided in support of developments where necessary and are regularly instructed as expert witnesses on this issue.

• Meeting and corresponding with LEA officers to agree proportionate contributions. The assessment of the need for additional infrastructure is often complex, but there are a number of common issues that arise, a few of which are summarised in the following pages. Please click on the web-link below for a full list of our economics services pegasusgroup.co.uk or contact our team on: Cirencester Office T : 01285 641717 E : Cirencester@pegasusgroup.co.uk Manchester Office T : 0161 3933399 E : Manchester@pegasusgroup.co.uk

Our core Educational Needs Assessments services include amongst other things:

• A sense check of the calculations of the LEA. • Determining the appropriate schools to take into account. • A review of the forecasts and methodology of the LEA. • Assessing the impacts of other committed developments. • Assessing the number of pupils arising and the capacity to accommodate them. • Identifying how any shortfalls can be addressed and the associated costs.

Checking the calculations. Owing to the complexity of assessing the need for educational infrastructure, it is not uncommon for there to be miscalculations or omissions in the assessments of Local Educational Authority (LEAs). Pegasus Group therefore always sense-check requests and this often leads to a reduction in the contributions required as was the case at:

Which schools should be taken into account?. National guidance sets out how the schools to be taken into account should be determined when assessing capacity. This can often be determinative of the contributions required as was the case at:

The pupils arising.

National policy requires the levels of infrastructure required to be set out in the Development Plan, but where it is not, it falls to a matter of planning judgement. Pegasus Group has demonstrated that the pupils arising are lower than suggested by LEAs as has been the case at:
