The project for the school referred to by the Deputy has been approved to progress to tender and construction and is currently at stage 2a of architectural planning. In late April, the Department issued detailed comments on the stage 2a submission (developed sketch design) and requested additional information from the design team relating to the project. This was received in June and reviewed by the Department's Technical staff and further detailed comments issued in September. The Design Team were requested to consider and respond to each of the comments listed. The Design Team's response was received at the end of October and is currently being considered. My Department will be in contact with the school authority and the design team when this consideration has been completed.
