Another consultation has been launched on the relocation of a major secondary school in Cardiff. Plans for Willows High School, currently in Willows Avenue in Tremorfa, to be relocated and rebuilt on land off Lewis Road in Splott are currently in the pre-application stage.
The pre-application consultation, which is now open, runs until Tuesday, August 16. A planning application for the development is expected to be lodged in spring 2023. If plans go ahead the school would have places for 900 students aged 11 to 16. Pupils will remain at the existing Willows High School site until the new school is built.
Willows High is currently in poor condition and was put forward for redevelopment as part of the Band B 21st Century Schools Programme. Initial plans for the school to be built on land at Tremorfa Park were thrown out after opposition from members of the public raised concerns about the loss of recreational space.
