150 new homes planned for derelict school site

DEVELOPER HOPES TO BUILD 102 FLATS AND 48 HOUSES
A RENEWED bid has been submitted to redevelop a long-abandoned school site, which has been plagued by vandalism and fires since it closed almost a decade ago.
The former Foxwood School in Hythe has stood empty since 2016, but developer Ureco, working with architects Hollaway Studio and Hume Planning Consultancy has now submitted proposals for 150 homes to Folkestone and Hythe District Council.
The site was abandoned when the SEND school merged with Highview School in Moat Farm Road, Folkestone. The school has since relocated to The Beacon in Park Farm Road, Folkestone.
Planning documents state: "Since becoming unoccupied, the site has suffered from a lack of maintenance.
"The landscaped areas and surrounding foliage have become overgrown, significantly impacting the condition and usability of the existing buildings and grounds."
