Former cadet barracks to be replaced with homes

Permission has been given for the demolition of city cadet barracks to make way for the construction of four semi-detached houses.

The site, on Great Hampton Street in Wolverhampton was a former base for a local army cadet squadron but is currently vacant, according to documents submitted as part of the application.

The development is situated near West Park and is surrounded by residential properties.

The application documents stated there was easy access to the site from main roads leading to and from Wolverhampton city centre as well as good public transport links.

Each of the houses will have four bedrooms, and the designs show a living room, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor as well as a hallway and WC.

There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, plus an en-suite in one of the bedrooms of each house.

The second floor of each has a further two bedrooms as well as a shower room.

All of the new houses will have a driveway with two parking spaces, but future residents will be encouraged to travel to and from the site by alternative means.

"We consider that the proposal is an attractive quality scheme," applicant Sarabjit Dhillon said in his submissions.
