There have been changes to the way applications and notifications for land transactions are made, which include:

• publishing revised guidance to make it easier to find information and understand what other information you’ll need to submit with your application
• using revised forms

This revised guidance replaces previous guidance published by the Department for Education (DfE) or Education Skills and Funding Agency (ESFA), including protection of school playing fields and public land, schedule 1 disposing of school land and schedule 22, which have now been cancelled and withdrawn.
