Council submits planning application for demolition of multi-storey car park

Lichfield District Council has submitted a planning application to demolish the multi-storey car park on Birmingham Road.

It said the move marks the start of the development project for the Birmingham Road site.

The car park was built in the 1960s and a review of parking in the city concluded it was under-used, with an average annual capacity of 26%, the council said.

The council said discussions with development partners are progressing rapidly.

After demolition, the site will be used for temporary activities until development begins, the council said.
