Bradford Street Developments Limited look to give Walsall new apartment block
January 2, 2019
Walsall town centre, within a said deteriorating Conservation Area, is looking to have the construction of a five storey / 26 apartment block on a former car park in Bradford Street which is located just a moments walk from Walsall train station and the Saddlers Shopping Centre.
The planning department is expected to give the go ahead, of which previously similar plans had never materialised, to Bradford Street Developments Limited who plan to construct a 17 two bed and 9 one bed apartment complex. Objections have already been made from local property owners concerned that the new build will further reduce parking options for shoppers and de-value local commercial property.
