Flats plan for arson-hit old care home in Walsall
An arson-hit former care home site is set to be transformed into an apartment block.
Habinteg Housing Association has put forward proposals to create a three-storey, 18-flat block on the site of the former Mali Jenkins House in The Crescent in Walsall.
The building has been empty since 2017 but suffered from anti-social behaviour issues, including an arson attack which caused damage to the building’s roof.
It is currently fenced off and awaiting demolition, for which permission was granted by Walsall Council earlier this year.
The developers said the aim will be to create accessible apartments for vulnerable residents.
