The application does not comply with the Finsbury Local Plan published by Islington Council in 2013 and still current.
Loss of recreational space.
Buildings too high- ie above 6 stories. "The RCS site is actually shaded in green "Area with a platform building height of around 6 storeys". 
Damage to setting of listed buildings and conservation areas. "It notes the locally listed Board School building to the North and the Golden Lane Estate to the South as well as St Luke's Conservation Area."

The proposals are a gross overdevelopment of the site.
There is no need for another primary school as Moreland Primary is built for 2 form entry and currently only has one form entry.
Historic England are considering listing the Golden Lane Estate workshops and disability garages which face demolition under the current proposals.
