A new planning application that would see the former Lion pub on Whitchurch Road in Wellington demolished and turned into 12 assisted living units has been submitted to Telford & Wrekin Council.
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 back in 2022.
A prior planning application was approved for the pub in September last year, with hopes of retaining much of the existing building and extending it on the ground floor to provide 10 accessible homes.
