Located within Hextable urban confines the site is considered sustainable. The existing access onto Rowhill Road could be utilised. The southern portion of the site containing the school playing fields is allocated as open space. This area is an important part of the green infrastructure network and the loss of this use is not supported and would need to be clearly demonstrated. Overall the northern portion of the site is considered able to accommodate development.
