Work to start on housing scheme on former Stourbridge school site
Work to demolish a disused Stourbridge school to make way for more than 50 homes is expected to start at the end of the year.
Persimmon Homes has cleared the final hurdle in the planning process for the company’s proposed 52-house development on the site of the old Longlands School in Bowling Green Road.
Bosses said they are hopeful the first new residents will be move into their new homes in autumn next year, if their plans remain on track.
Dudley Council planners had given permission for the scheme in July subject to a Section 106 agreement being signed which secured affordable housing, education monies and highway infrastructure improvements.
This has now been signed and the permission was formally granted earlier this week.
