Wombwell High School, which closed in 2012 when it merged with Foulstone to form Netherwood, is at the centre of a bid from Premier Construction Group.
The application consists of 34 two-bedroom, 126 three-bedroom and 75 four-bedroom properties.
Two hectares of the site will be retained for a new primary school and £2m will be secured from the developer for loss of amenity if it’s given the green light, a report revealed.
