00:01Plans have been submitted to convert a former West Midlands Police Training Centre into
00:06a large house of multiple occupation in Smethwick.
00:09The empty windmill house site could become a 76-bed HMO and a proposal sent to Sandwell
00:15Council.
00:16Developers say the scheme is designed to support healthcare workers at the nearby Midland Metropolitan
00:22University Hospital.
00:23The three-storey building closed last year and was sold after being declared surplus to requirements.
00:30Plans include reducing on-site parking spaces and refurbishing the existing structure rather
00:36than demolishing it.
00:38The surrounding area is already earmarked for wider regeneration, including new homes and
00:43a school.
