A former pub in Burntwood could be converted into a restaurant and takeaway.

The Oak at Sankey’s Corner has been boarded up for several years, but a planning application has now gone in which could see a new use for the site.

The application says no major external changes will be made to the building, but a restaurant area will be created on the ground floor with around 40 seats.

A statement supporting the plan said: “The proposal will bring back into use a building which has been vacant for a number of years.”

Full details of the plan can be seen [on Lichfield District Council’s website](https://planning.lichfielddc.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?previousCaseType=Property&previousKeyVal=JEU20NJE20000&activeTab=summary&previousCaseUprn=010013844584&previousCaseNumber=JEU20GJE20000&keyVal=O53XC9JEMMJ00&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
