A former Wolverhampton pub has been acquired by a local developer, with planning permission in place for a mixed use development.

The former Bagot Arms, on Newhampton Road West, Whitmore Reans has remained empty since closing in 2008.

Occupying a site area of 0.47 acres, planning permission has been granted by Wolverhampton City Council for a mixed use development of eight ground floor retail units and three first floor, one-bedroom residential flats.

Martin Zaki, who handled the sale for Towler Shaw Roberts, said: “The property provides an attractive conversion/development opportunity with its prominent roadside location.

“It’s considered suitable for a range of alternative uses, subject to planning, whilst having the benefit of existing planning permission in place for a significant mixed residential/commercial development to be built.

“The sale to a local developer now provides the opportunity for the property, which fronts the busy Newhampton Road West, to be regenerated, so it’s good news for the area.”

The former pub’s location at 413 Newhampton Road West benefits from direct access to Wolverhampton city centre and the main A41 Tettenhall Road, directly linking to Junction 3 of the M54 motorway.
