Why this application matters
School campus
The scheme would replace existing school buildings and portacabins with a 3,833 sq m primary school building containing 21 classrooms, arranged from one to three storeys and connected to the retained granite building.
Heritage and reuse
The site includes land within the curtilage of Loreto Abbey, a protected structure. Teresa Ball House would be refurbished, extended by 85 sq m and converted from nursing-home use to educational space with three classrooms and resource-teaching areas.
Construction continuity
A separate two-storey prefabricated school of 20 classrooms is proposed to accommodate school use while demolition and construction are underway.
Earlier permission
The same redevelopment proposal previously received permission, providing an established planning basis for the school campus renewal.
