New homes plan for vacant land
A total of four new council homes are to be built on vacant land in Wolverhampton after council bosses approved the plans.
The new semi-detached properties are to be built on land between 625 and 661 Cannock Road, Failings Park, Wolverhampton.
The site was at one time occupied by residential a pair of semi-detached and a detached house from the 1920s to 1950s.
However, by 1974, these houses had disappeared. Since then the site has been vacant open ground.
Now the site will see homes built in just 10 weeks, with work due to start on November 27 this year.
Plans submitted by BP Architecture on behalf of Extraspace Solutions and approved by the council, state: "The proposal will deliver four, two bedroom residential dwellings.
"Wolverhampton Homes will operate the four units for rental, this therefore delivers affordable homes."
There will be space for two cars on each driveway of the homes.
No one from BP Architecture, Extraspace Solutions or Wolverhampton Homes was available to comment on the plans at the time of publication.
