The Council’s Planning Committee has now approved the planning application for the new Queensferry High School and swimming pool.
The plans deliver a new build replacement secondary school with playing fields, external spaces, car parking and landscaping. The existing school will be demolished following completion of the development.
The redevelopment will increase the school capacity from existing 1000 pupils to 1200 pupils. It incorporates a new sports hall and, after a very successful community campaign, a bigger
swimming pool which can be opened up to greater community use.
There was some request at committee for additional info on the materials for the building and a request that the cycle path across the site be linked up with NCN at Dalmeny Station.
All being well, the school should be built in time for opening in 2020.
