Homes plan for former primary school near Shrewsbury set to be approved

The school closed around ten years ago and the site was vacated when it merged with another nearby school.

Oakland Primary School which was vacated in 2009 when the Oakland and Longmeadow schools merged to form Oakmeadow Primary School.

Sport England and the council's leisure officer have said that £75,000 is needed for the improvements, but that the developer has said it wants to pay less. Discussions will now take place to decide on the amount.The development will include two of the areas – one at the centre and the other to the northern side of the access road. As part of the plans, two smaller areas are stated to be additional open space, creating a total of 2,197sqm.

"The development would bolster the local housing stock, generate an over provision of much needed affordable housing for the village and create accessible public open space for residents. "The development would be acceptable in terms of impacts on residential amenity, highway safety, drainage, and sustainability; open space provision would be policy compliant."
