A pre-application consultation found no objections by the county council, with the county experiencing an urgent requirement for SEND schools.
Suggestions to explore pedestrian access via Woodbridge Road were recommended during the consultation period.
News that the site could become a school first surfaced in 2016, when the land was sold to the Education Funding Agency.
Permission had previously been granted for the construction of 39 homes on the 2.4 acre site, although it has remained empty with buildings demolished after BT staff left several years ago.
Planning consultants Nexus Planning said the proposal will bring various benefits to the town.
