A licensing application has been made to allow live music, sell alcohol and play recorded music as late as midnight. It is not stated whether this will be used to its full extent if granted.

It comes after a planning application was submitted to turn the closed branch into a café.

The branch closed in November with bosses saying it was under-used because of the use of telephone and internet banking.

Accounts were to the branch in Poplar Road, Solihull.

A consultation is being held on the licensing application.

Update: this article originally said 1am and has now been changed to reflect the online application, which states midnight. I don't have time to check at the moment but the application might have been ammended.
