The proposal, which still needs final funding agreements with the NHS as well as planning permission, would see Greenwood House used by the Darwin Practice as a health centre.

The council would also look for a tenant for an adjoining pharmacy.

Cllr Alan White, Staffordshire County Council’s deputy leader and Cabinet member for health, care and wellbeing, said: “This proposal, utilising a previously dormant plot of land to provide additional capacity for the local GP practice, means people in Burntwood can look forward to a new, state-of-the-art accessible practice that meets the needs of local people.”
