Development Proposals Overview
Development Proposals are the statutory means by which proposed changes of significance to education provision can be effected. The changes proposed must align with the current Area Plan for education provision and Operational Plan.
The Department has published detailed guidance describing the development proposal process and supporting guidance on implementing school amalgamations and guidance on the procedure for the transfer of a voluntary school to controlled status.
