A Wirral school’s plan for 33 homes on a field it owns has been dealt a major blow after councillors unanimously voted against the proposal.
Birkenhead School, an independent school on Beresford Road in Oxton, Wirral, wants to sell off Noctorum Field and gain planning permission for up to 33 homes on the site. The proposal has faced fierce local opposition.
At tonight’s meeting of Wirral Council’s Planning Committee, all councillors rejected the homes plan. But this does not mean it is dead in the water, as Birkenhead School has taken the application to the Planning Inspectorate where it will ultimately be accepted or rejected.
