Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has granted planning permission to develop the Hawthorn High and Hawthorn Primary school site by 2024. The multi-million pound education facility was approved at the Planning and Development Committee meeting on Thursday, July 7.
The approved application will allow the demolition of three buildings, which will be replaced with the new 21st Century building and the other on site buildings will be refurbished. The new two storey building will be built directly south of and linked to, the existing primary school building.
It will have 11 classrooms on the ground floor and 16 classrooms on the first floor. The building will also include a staff room, offices, reception area, toilets, therapy room, library, ICT suite, meeting rooms, DT and music areas, hygiene rooms, multi-use rooms and storage areas.
