A former Nottingham primary school that could be demolished and replaced with housing is to be sold off after standing empty for 15 years. People living near the old Elms Primary School in Cranmer Street, St Ann's, have described the site as an "eyesore" after it became a target for repeated vandalism following its 2008 closure.
The authority is now due to approve the sale of the land to developers five years on from the housing plan first being announced. The council says it will be sold to Blueprint Ltd, which already had an 'option agreement' in place for the site. An option agreement gives a company the right to buy land, but does not tie them in to doing so.
Current plans are for the land to be used for 66 houses, which would feature a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom homes. In June 2017, the council awarded a contract to a firm to remove asbestos and partially demolish the school and its caretakers' house - subject to the work costing a total of £500,000.
