Three garage blocks in Burntwood are facing the bulldozers.

A demolition notification has been submitted by Bromford to Lichfield District Council for the ten brick-built garages at Birch Terrace – and if consent is granted work is expected to start at the end of November.

The application form submitted to the council says:

> “Following a review of Bromford’s garage stock, it has been determined that the area would be be better served as a parking area for local residents.  
>  
> “Due to their method of construction, the garages cannot be guaranteed to be watertight and therefore are not ideal for the storage of items.  
>  
> “Works will be carried out between the hours of 8am and 4pm. The contractor’s operatives have completed asbestos awareness training and will go through a toolbox talk and site induction before commencing work.  
>  
> “Formalised traffic management is not required for these works; the rest of the car park will remain accessible for the duration with occasional minor disruption during deliveries.  
>  
> “Asbestos demolition surveys have been carried out, and any identified asbestos containing materials will be removed by Bromford’s licensed asbestos removal contractor in accordance with the relevant legislation.”  
>  
> Planning statement
