The city council has suggested that the school’s existing site in Westgate could be exchanged for a new site within the Whitehouse Farm development.

Around new 300 homes could then be built on the old school site.

Councillor Richard Plowman, the mayor of Chichester, said it was an ‘exciting project’ which would benefit both students and residents.

Bishop Luffa’s existing school building was ‘poorly built’ and needed ‘extensive repair work’, he said – read more here.

Mr Plowman is inviting residents to have their say on the proposal in a survey.
