NPTCBC file summary grounds of resistance - 'primary contention that the schools “involved or affected” within paragraph 3.4 of the Code are those named in the proposal'

The council filed its summary grounds of resistance on 7 February 2022. It maintained the primary contention that the schools “involved or affected” within paragraph 3.4 of the Code are those named in the proposal, i.e. the three schools and the new schools. Since they are or will be all English-medium schools, the part of paragraph 3.4 of the Code relied on by the claimant did not apply; it only applied where a Welsh-medium school is “involved or affected”.
