FRESH plans have been submitted for the conversion of Lichfield’s former library into apartments.
The proposals could see 21 apartments created in the building at The Friary.
The developer behind the scheme has applied for permission to make changes from existing listed building consent to amend some of the planned internal layout and revisions to parking bays.
Approval was granted last year to convert the building for residential use. A planning statement at the time said:
“The proposed development will retain the original parts of the 1920s building.
“Later extensions unsuitable for residential conversion and detrimental to the character of the original building will be demolished.
“The proposal includes internal sub-division of the building to residential use, but it will be sensitive to existing features.
“The scheme will therefore respect and preserve the character of the existing building and provide benefit by bringing it back into viable use.”
Full details of the amendments can be seen on Lichfield District Council’s planning website.
