Plans to convert a Burntwood pub into residential accommodation have been approved.

The proposals will see four units created in the Ring O Bells on Chorley Road.

A planning statement said trade at the pub, which was built in the 1920s, had declined over the years.

> “The pub was bought by the selling owners about ten years ago and was not frequented by many local residents. It survived for a number of years just paying for itself.  
>  
> “The owners then obtained consent to convert part of the car park to four semi detached houses. The pub traded with the smaller car park.  
>  
> “The owners were advised it would take £100,000 to upgrade the pub to acceptable standards. They did not want to invest that level of money.  
>  
> “The pub traded with the smaller car park, trade dwindled and the owners decided enough was enough and put the property up for sale.  
>  
> “Of all the interested parties only one purchaser wanted to retain the public house use, however they did not want to pay the VAT on the commercial property. My client made a bid and secured the pub.”

> Planning statement

The development will see plans for a two storey extension and a new staircase at the rear of the property.
