Decision details

Between 6 June 2016 and 1 July 2016, the authority consulted on a proposal to permanently expand Balshaw Lane Primary School in Euxton, Chorley, with effect from September 2018.  Under the statutory process, the County Council is now required to consider the responses to the consultation, and to decide whether to proceed to the next stage and publish Statutory Notices of the proposal.  The purpose of this report is to provide the information necessary for that decision to be taken.

(i)  noted the consultation arrangements which were undertaken and the responses that were received in respect of the authority's proposal; and
