A FORMER Wollaston pub is set to be converted into a bakery after Dudley Council planners gave the application the go-ahead.
The former Cottage Spring pub looks set for a new lease of life as a bakery after the council gave permission for a change of use.
The Bridgnorth Road building, which dates in part to the nineteenth century, closed as a pub, then known as Graham’s place and also as Webster's Brewhouse, in 2021 and has been empty ever since.
The proposed opening hours are Monday – Friday 7.30am to 5pm, Saturday from 8am to 5pm and Sunday from 10am till 4pm.
A design and access statement states: "Products will be prepared and baked on the premises for retail sale from the premises.
"Wollaston does not have a bakery and it is considered that the village would benefit greatly from the provision of this facility."
They go on to say the proposed new business will create jobs for 3-5 people.
Notes by planners state: "The site has a car park accessed via Bridgnorth Road, which serves both the application property and adjacent retail property ‘Websters of Wollaston.’"
