Landmark Telford offices could be demolished and replaced

The application by Housing Plus Group is to replace the building, which has previously been used by HM Revenue and Customs, with a three-storey building offering 2,262sqm of office space.

There would also be parking for 79 cars, including 12 charging spaces and three motorcycles.

It will also provide secure covered parking for five bikes, with shower and changing facilities in the building.

A design and access statement submitted with the plans says: "Reynolds House was erected in the mid 1980s. Office accommodation is provided on the ground and three upper floors, with the main reception area accessed directly from the surfaced car park to the front of the building.

"Approval has been obtained to demolish the existing building. Demolition does therefore not form part of this application."

The new building would be in a L shape, with two accommodation wings joined together by a central reception, which has main entrances on both the north and south sides

Housing Plus Group was formed by a merger between Severnside Housing in Shropshire and South Staffordshire-based Housing Plus, in October 2016.

With 12,000 homes, 25,000 customers and 600 employees, the Housing Plus Group is a provider of homes and care services throughout Shropshire and Staffordshire.

The group has plans to build more homes and create more choice for customers.

The plans were submitted on Wednesday and will be decided by Telford & Wrekin Council in the coming months.
