Then the replica must be read-only; you can't create anything on
that PostgreSQL instance because it is a block-level copy of the
master database cluster.  You would need to use logical replication
(for example, Slony) to do what you describe, or store the new
schema on another cluster and use dblink or a foreign data wrapper.
