The two sites in Thurlton would result in an estimated population of approximately 64 new residents. Thurlton Primary School has a PAN of 15. There is unlikely to be sufficient capacity available to cater for the increased population locally. In addition, it is worth noting that nearby Haddiscoe has been selected for an allocation of 35 dwellings. As Haddiscoe does not have its own primary school, the closest school is Thurlton, which will add a further drain on school capacity. The need to travel approximately 3.5 kilometres to the nearest primary school will inevitably put further pressure on local infrastructure, especially the highways network, due to additional vehicle movements.
