Additional Notes
Former school that was declared surplus following closure in 2017. The redundant school buildings have now been demolished and the site is now vacant and available. An initial consent from 2016 has enabled the clearance of the site as a first stage of a potential redevelopment (16/04037/DEMGDO). This site is limited to the brownfield aspect of site, exclusive of the adjacent playing fields. It has been confirmed that the site is being considered for a mixed-use redevelopment. Currently forecast as developable later in the medium-term period (6 to 10 years). Site also allocated for residential development with an indicative yield of 60 dwellings through the Alnwick and Denwick Neighbourhood Plan (Site H2-3).
