Plans by Grŵp Llandrillo Menai to relocate its Bangor campus to Parc Menai have been approved by the Planning and Environment Decisions Wales despite opposition from Gwynedd council.
The proposal to move to Tŷ Menai came as college bosses warned the existing city centre Ffriddoedd campus needed urgent maintenance and an estimated £18m merely to remain weatherproof and operational.
But there was some opposition locally to the plan to move students and staff out of the city, which is already struggling with footfall numbers.
