NEW Leigh College blueprints have gone before planners.

Applicants Brook House and Xanadu project leaders Greenbank Partnerships Ltd have submitted plans for an educational centre next to Parsonage Retail Park on Atherleigh Way.

If the proposed Xanadu leisure development goes ahead (the public inquiry begins in Leigh on April 20) it would mean flattening Wigan and Leigh College's Marshall Street complex.

The Xanadu scheme includes provision for relocating students on the Atherleigh Way site.
