The college submitted its application to Dudley Council concerning 12 The Broadway, Dudley, in the first week of September.
The property is on the same road as the college's Aspire Living which "offers a home environment where students can develop their living skills using the real-life kitchen, lounge, gardens, music and craft rooms".
