Plans to build 177 homes on the former site of Harrop Fold School have been resubmitted.
The school, located in Little Hulton, featured on Channel 4’s Educating Greater Manchester television series.
Pozzoni Architecture Limited has resubmitted plans to add five-bedroom houses with ensuite bathrooms at first floor level, as well as adding patio doors to some properties.
The planning application has been resubmitted for 45 apartments and 132 houses, including of 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom houses. The first submission for houses to be built upon the site was in 2021 when the school closed.
Associated parking, landscaping and open spaces are also included in the application.
The houses are to be built on land at the former Harrop Fold School, which closed in 2021 after featuring on the popular tv show, Educating Greater Manchester.
The hit TV show was first broadcast on Channel 4 in 2017; a new series followed in 2020.
The school closed after popular headteacher Drew Povey was suspended, leading to protests outside the school.
The Lowry Academy, which serves pupils from Little Hulton and Walkden, replaced it and remains open.
And what are the plans for the already over ran local streets/roads? They are already filled with pot holes and are in a bad state, plus the queue to leave Worsley avenue and get onto Hilton lane is already ridiculous at 8.20am because the roads are not built for the kind of foot flow that’s currently using it… Add more housing, means even more damage to roads and traffic in an area that can’t hold it!
There are enough houses in little hulton. They need to leave our green space alone
