The school buildings have stood empty for 14 years, but the site is now finally set to be used again.
The former Oakland Primary School, in Bayston Hill, is being sold to Cornovii Homes, the council’s own development company, which has secured planning permission to demolish it and build 23 homes.
Speaking at the meeting, Councillor Dean Carroll, portfolio holder for growth, regeneration and housing, said: “It is a positive story for Bayston Hill in that this site has been empty for come time and has attracted a degree of anti-social behaviour over the years. Planning permission for the development, which includes two affordable homes and public open space, was granted by the council’s northern planning committee in December.
“This was however, discontinued. This report now details a proposal to dispose of just the Oakland School site – the land in Shropshire Council’s ownership only.”
