Derelict Wolverhampton building to be demolished and replaced with flats
An empty multi-storey building in Wolverhampton city centre is due to be knocked down and replaced with more than 100 flats.
Planning permission has been lodged for Network House to be demolished.
The site consists of a derelict six-storey office block, and a two-storey “retail frontage” building that faces onto School Street.
If the plans are approved, the former office block will be demolished and turned into flats, while the street-side building will be turned into duplexes – creating 113 flats in total.
The properties will be a mix of one and two-bedroom flats and the six-storey office block will be replaced with a block of flats between four and six-storeys high.
Network House is bordered by Darlington Street Methodist Church on one side.
The new development would transform part of School Street.
Plans were initially submitted to transform the building into a retail and leisure development in 2014.
Councillors will consider the latest plans in the coming weeks.
