A PROPOSED new health centre has reached an "important milestone", bosses have said.

A planning application has now been submitted for the long-awaited development on the former youth centre site in Burntwood.

As well as the health centre, the development will also see a new care home and sports pitches on the land if the proposals are approved.

A spokesperson for the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) said:

> "The Burntwood Health Centre project has reached an important milestone with the submission of the planning application.  
>  
> "Local healthcare services are currently provided from Salters Meadow Health Centre, a temporary facility on the Burntwood Leisure Centre site and the Darwin branch practice in Chasetown. These will be replaced with the new facility as a priority to improve local healthcare services.  
>  
> "The site will also house NHS community-based health services, which will allow teams to work more closely together and provide more joined-up, accessible care for local residents."

The ICB said the planning application had been submitted in line with an updated "target timeline" published earlier this year.

The organisation added:

> "Lichfield District Council will now consider the submission and determine the outcome. Members of the public will also have the opportunity to comment.  
>  
> "Should planning permission be granted, the next stage will be to obtain competitive prices from building contractors for the construction of the health centre."
