Permitted Development changes in relation to schools

The 2013 GPDO notes that a school includes a building permitted by Class C of Part 4 - the temporary use of a building as a school. The GPDO states that the PD rights conferred by Class A of Part 2 and Class A of Part 32 apply to temporary schools permitted by Class C of Part 4. Would these Part 2 and Part 32 PD rights also extend to schools created under Class K of Part 3?

As its a permanent change of use it would benefit from Part 32. As far as I can see Part 2 applies to any use unless otherwise specifed as in Part 4 Class C

As for Part 3 Class K why is it not neccessary for flooding risks to be considered in contrast to a flexible use of an agricultural building and offices to dwellings. Also noted that in the prior approval procedure set out under N at 10(b) it refers back to para (1) whereas the details are requried in para (2).
