Plans for homes on Stafford pub site
A Stafford pub could be bulldozed to make way for new homes if plans are given the go-ahead.
William Sharp of Smart Property Homes Ltd has applied to Stafford Borough Council for permission to build six two bedroom town houses on the site of The Princess Royal in Sandon Road.
A design statement submitted as part of the application said: “The site layout has been designed to maintain one main access onto Sandon Road, with good visibility in both directions. Six dwellings front a private drive from this main access, each with their own independent driveways.
“The block of houses are set back and separated from the Sandon Road. Being set back from the line of neighbouring properties prevents them from being overbearing in height.
“A local bus service within walking distance provides access to Stafford town centre, providing local shopping amenities and plenty of restaurants and public houses. Within one mile a retail park also provides local shopping amenities and restaurants and public houses.”
A previous application to demolish the pub and build six three storey and two two storey homes was granted planning permission in September 2014.
