New homes plan proposes demolition of Coventry offices
- Published
Barberry has lodged its plans for the site with Coventry City Council
An empty and vandalised office block could be demolished under a developer's plans to build hundreds of homes.
Barberry is aiming for 314 homes made up of studios and one-bed and two-bed apartments on Cook Street in Coventry, according to proposals.
It has lodged plans with the council to knock down the Dale Buildings.
The developer proposes a "build to rent" project designed specifically for that market.
The site currently comprises "three largely vacant and dilapidated buildings", including single-storey structures and the three-storey office block, according to the application.
The site had been vacant for some time and it was apparent it had "suffered from vandalism and trespass", a statement added.
This news was gathered by the Local Democracy Reporting Service which covers councils and other public service organisations.
