MOST of the flats proposed for the inside of an old school and all of the new homes planned next to it are too small. That’s the view of Stratton St Margaret Parish Council, which criticised an application to convert the former Stratton Education Centre into seven flats and build 12 houses next to it on Clays Close. Parish councillors pointed out all of the flats and several of the homes as detailed in the designs have rooms which are below the minimum space standard. They raised concerns over inadequate parking on the site and worries about congestion on the road.
