Planning permission has been secured for a new 700 capacity secondary school in\u00a0Edinburgh, as Morrison Construction<\/a> takes on the role of contractor<\/h2>\n

A planning application was submitted after extensive consultation with educationalists, service users and the local community and approved plans including JM Architects<\/a>\u2019 design will see a new school built in the centre of Craigmillar<\/a>, next to the library.<\/p>\n

Externally there will be a 3G artificial football pitch, which will be available for use by the local community outside school hours as well as a community town square.<\/p>\n

Scott Brown, Hub South East\u2019s project director: said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to have reached this key milestone of planning approval<\/a> on the new Castlebrae High School. The new school will not only provide a modern learning estate for pupils and staff but will be a fantastic asset to the community, contributing to the ongoing regeneration of the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter successfully delivering a new high school campus and several primary school facilities for the Council already, we look forward to working in partnership to make these Castlebrae High plans a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ian Perry, education convener at the City of Edinburgh Council<\/a>, said: \u201cIt\u2019s great news that this planning application has been given the green light and is a clear sign of our determination to provide young people with a first-class inclusive learning environment.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sure the Craigmillar community will be especially delighted as a new school has been discussed for many years but now it really is starting to take shape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWork is due to start on the site at the end of the year with the new school opening its doors in August 2021 as the City of Edinburgh Council continues to deliver modern, fit for purpose, learning campuses which are innovatively designed and inspirational places for learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morrison Construction managing director, Eddie Robertson, said: \u2018\u2018We have a proud history of delivering state-of-the-art education facilities.<\/p>\n

“We have a successful working relationship with our partners Hub South East and the City of Edinburgh Council and we look forward to delivering another fantastic project together.<\/p>\n

Early works are expected to start on-site by the end of the year, with completion due by the start of the school year in August 2021.<\/p>\n
