Plans to convert a former church in Armitage into a residential property have been approved.

The Grade II Listed building on Rugeley Road has been empty since 1998, with the site suffering a chequered past which saw it used without the owner’s knowledge to grow cannabis plants.

A planning statement said the change of use was needed to ensure the long-term future of the site.

> “A viable end use is required in order to avoid further deterioration of the building and to safeguard it into the future.  
>  
> “The application proposes the change of use of the building to form a single dwellinghouse.”
