A former school building in the Vale of Glamorgan dating back to the 1890s is set for demolition despite strong opposition. Vale of Glamorgan Council granted planning permission for the demolition of the former Cowbridge Comprehensive School Sixth Form building on Aberthin Road in order to make way for the development of 34 homes.
Plans to demolish the Victorian building on the opposite side of the A48 flyover to the current Cowbridge Comprehensive School site have been met with a lot of resistance, including from Cowbridge Town Council, MPs and Senedd members.
The disapproval of residents has also been expressed in letters of representation to the council and two petitions - one with more than 3,000 signatures, and another with over 2,000.
