Plans to convert a business premises in Burntwood into housing have been unveiled.

The site at 87 High Street in Chasetown has been the long-term base for Chase Plant Hire.

But after the company was [granted planning permission to move to a new location](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/permission-granted-for-work-to-allow-burntwood-business-to-move-to-new-base/) in the town, an application has been submitted to convert the ground floor of the building into three one bedroom flats.

A planning statement said:

> “Historically there have been issues concerning a plant hire business operating in a mainly residential area. Issues of noise, parking, anti social behaviour and the number of vehicle movements have been raised in the past.  
>  
> “The proposed development would improve the living conditions for local residents.”
