Additional Notes
Site of former first school which has been surplus to requirements following closure in 2018. The site comprises of the main single storey flat-roofed school building along with a caretaker's house. Clearance of the site required prior to redevelopment. Offers an excellent opportunity for reuse of brownfield land in an urban setting. A slightly higher density may be apt given the location and the nature of surrounding residential development.. An application for demolition and construction of 25 new homes was permitted in 2021 (20/02894/FUL). Construction works began in 2024. The overall completion of the development is expected within the coming five years.
