There could be two reasons why a place may be withdrawn:
(a) Where, after making an offer of a school place, an admission authority finds evidence of fraudulent or intentionally misleading information on an application form, the result of which is that an applicant with a stronger claim is denied a place at a school, the local authority may withdraw the offer of the place and consider the application afresh using the correct information.
(b) Where applicants are offered a place at a school and fail to accept the place by the date specified, the offer may be withdrawn.
