Park Lodge in Bloxwich

JS Properties has filed a proposal to turn the three-bedroom Park Lodge situated next to All Saints Academy on the High Street into a nursery.

The application includes a proposed extension to the property, which currently sits in the Bloxwich Park Conservation Area.

Agents Architettura said: “The applicant proposes to re-purpose the existing dwelling and associated garage to provide a children’s Day Nursery.

“This will involve a small, single-storey, flat-roofed extension to the rear of the building as a small addition to a prior single-storey extension.

“The site is within Bloxwich Park Conservation Area. It is considered that, given the very modest extent of building work proposed in and its location on the site, the proposal is not significant to the setting of the building.

“The proposed small extension is to the prior/existing modern flat-roofed extension and is substantially out of sight at the rear of the Lodge.”

A decision on the application is expected to made in the new year.
