The council said: “The following information responds to the planning regulation requirements for major planning applications; to engage in a minimum 12-week consultation period prior to formal submission of the planning application.
“This pre-planning consultation period will aim to share with the local community the progress on work carried out to date, the rationale behind initial design concepts and how the impact on the surrounding area has been considered.”
The work involves the creation of a new building which will replace five of the remaining teaching blocks.
The new building will be a four-storey building on the existing site which, along with the retention of the existing listed Victorian Building, will create a new community campus with contemporary learning and teaching space for the 1,200 student roll.
The consultation is running until June 9.
