I NOTE that Mr T Riley mentioned in his letter (December 22) that the council has granted planning permission for "playing fields and farmland" at Deane Base School.
This is not totally accurate, and is somewhat misleading.
In fact, planning permission was granted for development in August 1998, only for the agricultural land previously used by Deane School Farm, and not for the adjoining school playing fields.
