Plans have been lodged to convert the dilapidated Shrewsbury 'foam house' into four flats.
110 St Michael's Street attracted attention in July 2021 after concerns over the safety of the building prompted the landlord to evacuate the tenants and fill it up with concrete foam.
Now that structural repairs have been completed and the foam removed, a planning application has been submitted to change its use so it can be turned into apartments. The landlord wants to turn it into two one-bed and two two-bed flats. Back in 2021, amid worries that the building may collapse, Derbyshire firm Restek was brought in to fill parts of the property with large pipes, which were then packed with geopolymer foam concrete.
He said: “Structural repairs and works have been undertaken at 110 St Michael’s Street, all of which comply with building regulations."
