New apartments and houses could be built on the site of a former Army Reserve Centre in Stoke-on-Trent.

The building on the corner of Waterloo Road and Stonor Street, Cobridge, has been demolished in recent years.

Now plans have been submitted to Stoke-on-Trent City Council to 39 apartments and 14 houses on the site.

Two blocks are proposed, containing 29 one-bedroom and 10 two-bedroom apartments, alongside 14 three-bedroom semi-detached homes.

The building on the corner of Waterloo Road and Stonor Street, Cobridge, has already been demolished (Google).

A design and access statement submitted as part of the application said: "Apartment block one is to be situated on the prominent south eastern corner of the site at the junction of Waterloo Road with Stonor Street, Apartment block two is situated to the south west side of block one with a gated entrance between the blocks which will be fitted with access control to provide additional security for the occupants.

"To the south west of block two is located a separate vehicular access which will be constructed to adoptable standards to serve the housing development. The ground floor of block one facing onto Waterloo Road is to be used as a residents' gym and activities room with blinds or obscure glazing installed where required.

"A lift is proposed within the apartment block to provide accessible accommodation at all levels Some apartments will have bathrooms suitable for mobility impaired persons and other apartments will have the option to be upgraded should the mobility of persons require the formation of wet rooms."
