Plans to build new homes on former school site in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Detailed plans have come forward to build 55 new homes on a former North Staffordshire school site.
Newcastle Borough Council refused permission in 2019 for the redevelopment of the Seabridge Community Education Centre site, but the decision was later overturned at appeal.
Staffordshire County Council sold the centre on Roe Lane, Seabridge, to a housing developer last year. Now Vistry Homes (Mercia) and Staffordshire County Council have submitted an application seeking approval of reserved matters.
A design and access statement said 25% of the proposed new homes were set to be affordable housing. There will be a mix of two, three, four and five bedroom homes, as well as open space and new footpaths to connect with existing streets.
It added: "The site's previous use was a secondary school and when the school vacated the site was used as a community space which is now disused. Development of this site would allow for the provision of new houses in an appropriate and unused location, including a mix of both market and affordable dwellings."
