Council first submitted plans for ex-school site in 2022
PLANS for 117 affordable homes on a former school site are finally set to be approved - more than three years after being submitted.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council lodged an application to build flats, houses and bungalows on the old Brookhouse Green Primary School site in Bentilee in 2022.
The application is now finally set to go before the council's planning committee for approval. This comes after the council secured £2.2 million of government funding from the Brownfield Land Release Fund last year to help it prepare sites for development.
The money was earmarked for the Brookhouse Green site, which has been vacant since the school closed in 2006, along with the former Olympus Engineering site in Shelton. The Brookhouse Green development will consist of a four-storey supported living complex with 53 flats, 50 two-storey apartments, 10 houses and four bungalows.
