A BUILDING in Burntwood could be knocked down and replaced by a new office building if plans are approved.

[ ](#) 

Proposals have been submitted for the development at 164 High Street.

The work would see the existing structure demolished and a two-storey replacement and car park built in its place.

A planning statement said the property was currently vacant.

> "The previous use was terminated some ago and the site fell into disrepair.  
>  
> "The application proposes to demolish the vacant building and erect a new modern office building in its place.  
>  
> "The existing car park is to the re-laid and modified to suit the new use and the existing access re-used.  
>  
> "The redevelopment of the site will likely have significant benefits in terms of crime reduction as the vacant site is subject to continuous vandalism."
