Nearby residents have already begun objecting to plans for a new residential development on a former pub site in Stoke-on-Trent.

A planning application came forward only last week for the "erection of four two-bedroomed residential dwellings together with two two-bedroomed residential apartments" on the former Red Lion pub site, on Ruxley Road.

The pub closed in December 2016 and after falling into a state of disrepair, was demolished two years later.

However a number of objections have already been submitted against the plans.

Residents have already started objecting to the plans (Image via planning application).

One resident wrote: "The height of these buildings will mean that anyone the other side of Ruxley Road will be overlooked. I can't see any mention of how these buildings will be used but the comings and goings from the car park will be dangerous"

"Another neighbour, who lives opposite the site, said: "This still remains dangerous as there are no proposed amendments in the application. Highway safety has always been a concern for us having seen several near misses when the site was a public house.  Vehicles leaving/entering the site at the blind bend cannot see what is coming until the last second."

Other concerns raised related to a loss of privacy, traffic, and noise pollution in the area.
