Proposals to demolish a Shenstone nursery and replace it with a new building have been unveiled.

Planning permission has been sought for the Jelly Totz Nursery site on Birmingham Road.

The building was formerly a police house, later converted into a residential property prior to its current use.

A planning statement said a more modern facility was now needed.

> “The building has been operated as a day nursery for more than 12 years and is in a poor state of repair, particularly in terms of modern nursery standards.  
>  
> “It was converted from a dwelling and therefore it is felt it is not fit for purpose – it is not sustainable in terms of heat efficiency or sustainable energy production.”  
>  
> Planning statement

The proposals would see the 1950s building replaced by a bespoke nursery facility set further back than the current structure to allow for more car parking provision.

> “The proposed building has been designed to be of domestic proportions so it sits well into the domestic street scene but also relate to its intended use as a children’s nursery.  
>  
> “The design was based on creating a property that looks friendly and approachable whilst still respecting the local vernacular of traditional and contemporary properties.  
>  
> “The proposal replaces one two storeys building with another – however, the proposed building provides further first floor accommodation in order to grow this existing business.”
