Plans to demolish a Burntwood property and build a replacement have been approved.

The development will see the existing building at 214A High Street make way for a “modern” structure.

A planning statement said refurbishing the existing property would not be viable.

> “It was built in the late 1920s or early 1930s in a ribbon development of various designs and ages. It has remained virtually the same as first bill over the years and is now looking tired.  
>  
> “To refurbish the original dwelling would have been very costly and the result would be to still have a substance property.  
>  
> “The proposal is to provide a modern replacement with full compliance of current construction standards.”
