for Education (DfE) at a later stage as the site for the build and
delivery of the new East Keynsham Primary School.

the Keynsham area will be used to make payment for the land of

temporary accommodation and meet abnormal costs associated with
development of the school site.
The use of the site will be restricted and will revert to the
Council at a peppercorn should the site no longer be used for a
primary school.
