Hope Primary School near Minsterley closed seven years ago after a controversial merger with Long Valley Primary School in Worthen.

Now a planning application has been submitted by Mr Jonathan Walton and Dr Wendy-Jane Walton to build two new homes with detached garages following the demolition of the school. One of the homes will also have an office/studio in a wooded area.

The homes will benefit from glorious views to the Stiperstones.
