A vacant Grade II-listed school in Stoke-on-Trent will be sold at auction last month, after plans to turn it into accommodation for vulnerable adults were refused.

St Lukes Primary School, in Hanley, has been vacant for many years and so has fallen into a state of disrepair.

In January 2023, Urban Village Group applied for the "change of use for up to 28 self-contained units for vulnerable adults providing temporary accommodation to include various internal and external building and site works".



The Grade-II listed building has a guide price of £128,000 (Nub News).

These plans were refused by Stoke-on-Trent City Council last month on the basis that "insufficient information has been submitted with the application as the scheme fails to justify the less than substantial harm which would be inflicted upon the Listed Building."

Now, the building has been listed by Butters John Bee with a guide price of £128,000.

The listing says the building has "potential for alternative uses subject to planning" and is located less than a mile away from Hanley town centre.

St Luke's Primary School will be sold by auction at 6.30pm on Monday 21 October 2024 at DoubleTree by Hilton, Stoke-on-Trent.
