The project which the Deputy refers to was approved a project under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA) for the provision of 2 SEN base and central activities room.
I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has received a Stage 2b (post planning approval) report from the school. This report is currently being reviewed from both a technical and cost perspective in accordance with the requirements of the Public Spending Code. It is not possible at this stage to give a definitive timeline as to when this review will be complete.
Officials at my Department are liaising with the school authority and will provide guidance on the next stage and on how to progress to the next stage once the review is complete.
