Judicial Review Facts: Mr Justice Kerr reviewed all the evidence and concluded that there was a viable alternative site for the new #Saddleworth School in #Uppermill, on which the ESFA was willing to build and fund the new school buildings.

Had the Council not blindly taken the ESFA's feasibility study as a thorough comparison of the sites & had sought their own assessment of Cultural Heritage to comply with their statutory obligations, the new #Saddleworth School would now be open in Uppermill.

Cllr Chadderton is still misleading you & others by not publicly acknowledging: The major deficiencies in the site selection process The willingness of the ESFA to fund a new school in Uppermill. The ability of the Council to instruct the ESFA to build the new school in Uppermill

Did you know? There also appears to be no evidence that the Conservation Officer's opinion was ever sought during Oldham Council's 2015 site selection process, as there is no mention of this fact within their #Saddleworth School Site Selection Cabinet Report.

Did you know? The Planning Officer's Report made no reference to the Conservation Officer's objections to the planning applications and the Planning Committee members were not made aware of any of the details of her reports by the Planning Officer.

Did you know? Oldham Council's own Conservation Officer cannot support the building of the new #Saddleworth school in #Diggle and her detailed reports have never been made public on Oldham Council's Planning Portal.

Judicial Review Facts: 'The #Uppermill site is a viable alternative which would attract the ESFA's full funding & that both the ESFA & Oldham Council's site selection processes were seriously flawed.'

Part of the proposed site for the new 1500 pupil #Saddleworth School in #Diggle. Why would you choose to build the school here when you can build it on the existing site in #Uppermill?
