As a local resident (beginning Grasvenor Ave) and former teacher I am marginally inclined to support this application IF the concerns below are addressed. It is a little smaller and seems better planned esp using using natural light and providing a little more play and informal space.

-Is it needed? I would like more information on needs and the alternative of expanding Totteridge Academy which is on a bigger and better site. Where are pupils likely to be from?
-Can the height be reduced to no more than the present stadium?
-I'm still very worried about the traffic impact at a very difficult and congested junction. Possible slight mitigation if Fairfield way widened to left and right turn lanes with box junction? We need proposals to mitigate increased traffic. I would have thought the council need works and funding to be agreed before deciding.
-Parking is extremely limited so likely to badly affect neighbourhood. No allowance so far for all the visiting support teachers, maintenance people and other visitors any large school constantly has. Many cannot use public transport because they carry equipment or go on elsewhere.
-The local exhibitions were very (2x3hrs)and badly publicised. I and as far as I can find out none of my neighbors received the Ark notice though they told me we should all have been mail dropped.
