Permission for a block of 50 new flats next to the Prince of Wales public house was renewed yesterday despite more than 300 letters to Birmingham city council from pub regulars and objections from local police who claimed that the development, overlooking Moseley police station, would present a security risk.

There are now worries that the sort of problems which have followed the arrival of residents into the city centre will threaten the future of one of Birmingham's best-known drinking establishments.

This type of conflict has been taking place for decades but first came to public notice in 2004 when the Fiddle & Bone in the city centre was forced to close following the loss of its music licence after complaints by people living in nearby luxury developments.
