This is contrary to national planning policy (para 14/footnote 9 of NPPF). I can't begin to imagine how you would address the traffic/road access issues. Gipsy Lane/Orchard Way has been subject to flooding more than once from surface water from the A1(M). The land itself is currently used as agricultural land - a precious and rare resource. There is no way you can convince me that you can mitigate the noise from the A1(M). I live further away and it's clearly heard. Putting a primary school there would put children's health at risk from pollution.
