School site identified as surplus and made available for redevelopment following closure. The land has been occupied by the former school buildings and an associated bungalow for a caretaker. Clearance required prior to redevelopment. A scheme will be limited to the brownfield aspect of the site, excluding the adjacent playing fields. The demolition aspect of the works was approved in 2018 (18/00376/DEMGDO). In 2019 an application was permitted for the construction of 19 homes (16/03567/FUL). With the loss of the existing bungalow, the proposal will result in 18 net additional homes on completion. Scheme commenced with demolition of the school and bungalow in 2019. Development of 19 dwellings (18 net) completed during 2021/22. NB - the loss to stock through demolition of the caretaker's bungalow was accounted for in the 2019/20 monitoring year.
