Land is what we are short of in Cranfield. If you get planning permission for houses it makes you a millionaire. So people hang on to it even if just grows grass.
Current needs are allotments, enlargement of the cemetery, sports pitches for the colts, playgroup site (possible accommodated by Home farm), surgery and really vital accessible land for the Lower School. Of course the Home Farm planning permission 'solved' that by creating a playing field a quarter of a mile from the school across a busy road. It's no surprise that the Lower School is still looking for space to expand.
I've already pointed out in Cranfield Express that the footprint of Holywell school is huge and the buildings occupy at just one third of it. So why not put the Lower School in there? The two schools are both Church of England and the C of E retains the land. Seems a no-brainer to me.
