Overview
|
The Sustainable Communities for Learning (formerly 21st Century Schools and Colleges) programme is a major, long-term, strategic capital investment programme. It is jointly funded by the Welsh Government and local authorities and aims to create a generation of 21st century schools in Wales.
As part of this programme Caerphilly County Borough Council intends to make a planning application to extend Trinity Fields School within the curtilage of the existing school site.
The proposed two storey extension will provide additional classrooms to accommodate up to an additional 80 pupils with specialist intervention areas, a new soft play room and outdoor play spaces together with a relocated Memorial Garden and School Allotment area.
This extension is to ensure that the school can cater for the growing demand for places and the changing and more complex needs of the Additional Learning Needs (ALN) pupils across the county borough, both now and in the future.
This will ensure compliance with the new Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act. The existing hydrotherapy pool, Cafe, and the new additional facilities will be available for the community to utilise at suitable times and in keeping with the school timetable.
The requirement to undertake pre-consultation applies to all planning applications for ‘major’ development (full or outline as defined in article 2 of the Town and County Planning Development Management Procedure (Wales) Order 2012).
The consultation process represents an opportunity for people to learn about the proposal and make comments that will be recorded and summarised in a consultation report.
