It's a sensible place to add housing, I suspect .. but you have the perennial issue of developers looking to cram on as many houses as they can with as few facilities as they can get away with.

A public inquiry is to be held into the scheme (link below.)
http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/display.var.2167881.0.inquiry_to_probe_school_site_plan.php

Wiltshire County Council has launched a last-ditch attempt to force through its plans for the George Ward School in Shurnhold by appealing to the planning inspectorate.

Melksham is to get a new multi-million pound secondary school to replace the ailing buildings at the existing George Ward School (link below.)

The school will be built on land within Woolmore Farm to the south east of the town.
