New Anglesey housing estate planned for former island school site
Plans for a new housing estate at the site of former Anglesey school have been submitted. Ysgol Parch Thomas Ellis in Holyhead closed back in 2017 and pupils transferred to a new ‘super-school’ in the port town.
The school was later demolished and the site cleared. Now plans are in from Anglesey council for a new housing development with 43 homes.
The application also covers proposed highway link road improvements to connect Tan-Yr-Efail and Holyhead Enterprise Park.
