Disused pub set to be demolished to make way for ‘ultra-modern’ flats
A pub is set to be converted into ‘ultra-modern’ flats, if plans are approved by councillors this week.
The Wheatsheaf, a former pub at the junction of Portway Hill and Turners Hill in Rowley Regis, would be demolished to make way for a three-storey building containing 20 apartments and 23 car parking spaces.
The building will comprise of 18 one-bed and two two-bed flats, each with a balcony.
Only four apartments will be classified as affordable housing, according to Sandwell Council’s housing policy, as the building will be secured by a Section 106 agreement.
Three objections related to the amended proposals have been received by Sandwell Council, and the applicant, Jugraaj Singh.
