Mainstream Academy no longer accepting children with SEN from outside of catchment area

Is this standard admissions policy for most mainstream academies these days? Can it be challenged? It doesn't affect me directly but it feels like a slippery slope and if I'm honest I feel a bit disappointed that a school I have always held in such high regard is choosing to take this stance.

There is an opportunity to attend a consultation to discuss proposed changes to admissions criteria in January and I would like to go but am hoping someone can help me articulate my feelings on this so I can put forward my objections. I guess my underlying feeling is that this stance suggests children like my ds aren't wanted and are a drain on resources despite the fact that the support he has received so far has been fantastic.
