Homes plan progressing on site of former school

> Hexham Middle School would be demolished under the proposals

Northumberland County Council is close to announcing a construction partner to deliver the scheme on the 6.1 hectare former Hexham Middle School site.

Outline permission for up to 200 houses was granted last March, with a significant number of affordable properties planned to address shortages in the town.

The proposals would see the demolition of most of the former school on Wanless Lane, although the Grade II-listed Fellside building, former caretaker's cottage and the gatehouse will be retained.

The school has been redundant since it relocated in 2021.
