Permission has been granted to demolish a former primary school in Cardiff that has sat empty for nearly four years. Ysgol Gymraeg Glan Morfa moved out of their former site in Moorland Road in Splott in 2018 before moving into a new complex nearby.
The site has stood vacant ever since, however permission has now been granted for the building to be knocked down as part of a redevelopment project that will see it replaced partly with social housing. Hoarding boards appeared around the site's perimeter earlier in the year with residents notified by Cardiff council about plans to demolish the building, which has stood for several decades.
The single-storey building, adjacent to Moorland Primary School, is set to be demolished as part of a school re-generation project, according to the planning application. Ysgol Gymraeg Glan Morfa moved from its Moorland Road location in 2018 to a new £7.8 million site in Lewis Road.
