FOI Request - Planning Application 25/01203/APP (New Forres Academy)

Request 101003893156

I would like to submit a Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act request regarding Planning Application 25/01203/APP – New Forres Academy.

1.  Applegrove Primary School Pitch – Agreement with Head Teacher
Sport Scotland’s response references a letter from the applicant’s agent (dated 12/11/25), stating that the proposed approach to the loss of the Applegrove Primary School playing pitch has been “discussed and agreed with the Primary School’s Head Teacher.”

Please provide:

The full details of the “proposed solution” that was discussed and agreed with the Head Teacher.

Any correspondence, meeting minutes, emails, briefing notes, risk assessments, or proposals relating to how Applegrove Primary School pupils’ access to Roysvale Park would be managed as part of this solution.

Any documents or assessments showing how this solution meets policy requirement criterion iii, specifically regarding the replacement of lost recreation facilities.

2. Policy Criterion iii – Evidence of Compliance
Please provide all evidence and documentation held by Moray Council showing how the applicant is assessed to have met criterion iii, i.e.:

> “meets a requirement to replace the facility which would be lost, either by a new facility or by upgrading an existing facility to provide a better quality facility. The location will be convenient for users and the overall playing capacity of the area will be maintained.”

Please treat each part of this request independently in case information for one part is exempt.
