Derelict Wolverhampton pub eyed for apartments
A former pub that has been plagued by anti-social behaviour since closing could be turned into a block of apartments.
The Woodbine pub based on Wood Lane in Bushbury was closed in 2013.
Since then, plans were put forward to the city council to transform it into a hand car wash or housing, but they both fell through.
The unsecured site has also faced issues of fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour.
Residents pleaded for it to be developed, and this week an application has gone in to turn the site into a new apartment block.
Under new plans submitted to Wolverhampton Council, the pub will be converted to form 10 two-bedroom flats and two one-bedroom flats.
An apartment block will also be built next to the old pub building containing 18 two-bed apartments.
Councillors are due to discuss the plans later this year.
