Applicant Amrik Gill wants to erect a new three-storey block featuring nine one-bedroom flats at St John’s Vicarage, in Vicarage Street, Pleck.

If the plans are approved, the new development would be built on the Vicarage grounds which are used by St John’s Church.

Walsall Council planning officers are expected to make a decision on the proposal next month.
