About this property

  • Background Acting on behalf of Outwood Grange Academies Trust, Savills is pleased to bring to market, Danum Academy, Lower School, Leger Way, Doncaster. The Property is available freehold, comprising vacant school buildings and associated playing fields that are no longer in use and surplus to the requirements of the Trust. Given the current planning use, Learning and Non-Residential Institutions (F1) and Sui Generis, it presents an opportunity for a range of potential users to bring the Site back into use, with alternative uses considered subject to planning. Description The Site comprises a total area (irregular in shape with a flat gradient) of 11.6 acres (4.7 hectares). There are a number of buildings on Site, most of which have been fire damaged and or vandalised. They will therefore be demolished in the next four to five months. The associated playing fields are also surplus to requirement. The Site has not been used by the school Trust or any third party since 2017. The Landowners are in dialogue with Sports England and the LPA regarding a potential change of use on this Site.
