The existing site
OUTLINE planning permission has been granted for new homes to be built on the former Riverside College Campus in Runcorn.
Educations bosses now intend to sell the Campus Drive site to a developer with the proceeds of the land sale to be used to reinvest in the college’s other campuses within the borough.
Halton Borough Council granted outline planning permission for up to 120 homes at its planning committee meeting on Monday, August 1, subject to certain conditions.
The site has been vacant for almost two years after national funding cuts forced Riverside College to close the site.
