The former Bispham High School is earmarked for housing
Plans to build 200 new houses on the site of a former school have been recommended to get the go-ahead – despite fears from people living in the area. Town hall planners say the benefits of the scheme put forward by Rowland Homes to redevelop the site of the former Bispham High School outweigh any shortfalls.
Affordable homes – all two-bedroom properties – would be scatted through the site of the former school which closed in 2015.Development is proposed on three different parts of the land, with vehicular access from Bispham Road, Regency Gardens and Kylemore Avenue.A new priority junction would be created onto Bispham Road, and open space would include an attenuation basin to the south of the site access fronting Bispham Road.
“The proposal would make an efficient and effective use of land and, despite shortfalls against Local Plan requirements, it would provide a good quality residential estate.”
