Plans to demolish the majority of the former Lion pub on Whitchurch Road in Wellington have been given the go-ahead by Telford & Wrekin Council.
A planning application that would see everything but the locally listed front facade walls demolished, and the building turned into 12 assisted living units, was submitted in August.
The origins of the pub, which closed down before the coronavirus pandemic, can be traced back to 1841. BuildFifty5 Living Ltd, a project management and construction development company based in Telford, acquired the land for redevelopment in 2022.
