An application to demolish the former Sandwell College on West Bromwich High Street has been submitted to make way for the first phase of work on the site.
Plans for a huge modern development including apartments, shops and a hotel have been drawn up by the Government's Homes and Communities Agency.
The agency is now asking Sandwell Council for permission to demolish the nine-storey tower block, stating refurbishment of the building is not viable as it is subject to 'significant structural issues' and has reached the end of its economic life.
