Cardiff Council has confirmed that it still has not submitted an application to go ahead with a land swap which could pave the way for a new school. The council's cabinet approved the recommendations of an independent advisory committee to go ahead with a land swap, which would see land at Maindy Park exchanged for land at Caedelyn Park in Rhiwbina, on March 2.
However, the decision is subject to approval by the Charity Commission, which the council needs to submit an application to. In explaining why it had taken over three months to submit an application, a council spokesperson said: "The independent lawyers who have been advising the Maindy Park Trust are in the process of finalising the application for Charity Commission consent, which will be submitted imminently.
“The application is being progressed as quickly as practical, given the need for detailed information to be diligently gathered and prepared. This is a legal process, and as such, can take time."
