The scheme for Millennium House on Lower Hall Lane would see 20 apartments built in the former office building, which was formerly also home to a free school who left for purpose-built premises in 2022.

Applicants Fekete Group want to convert the building under permitted development rules that allow for vacant commercial property to be repurposed without full planning consent.

They added that the building's "highly sustainable location" would encourage public transport use alongside the 19 car parking spaces already present on the site, which sits near the former Shannon’s Mill site on the edge of Walsall town centre.
