Go-ahead to demolish outbuilding at St Asaph primary school
The proposal, concerning Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog, was granted consent by Denbighshire County Council's planning committee on May 27. Submitted by council officer Andrew Ward, the plans involve the demolition of an existing open-plan unheated building used to store equipment at the school, and replace it with a more substantial building occupying an equivalent area. In total, the site area measures 6,300 square metres. Extracts from a preliminary roost assessment, submitted as part of the application, read; 'The building is accessible all around via a gap between the walls and the roof, just beneath the eaves. 'Consequently, it is used by breeding birds associated with buildings, and three Swallow Hirundo rustica and one House Sparrow Passer domesticus nests were observed within the building. 'The building is not heated, and is lit by overhead strip lighting. 'The building to be demolished has minimal potential for roosting bats, due to it being well-lit and affording no secure roost sites internally. 'However, there is some potential for roosting bats beneath ridge capping.' The school garden is to be protected by temporary Heras fencing while the work is carried out. Cefn Meiriadog Community Council was also consulted on the plans, but raised no objections. In May, Ysgol Cefn Meiriadog celebrated its 90th birthday, and marked the occasion with a special event attended by pupils, staff and parents, past and present.
