A controversial plan for homes on an historic school field is set for a crunch vote.
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 plan, which has faced fierce local opposition, will be voted on by Wirral Council’s Planning Committee on Thursday.
The homes plan has been submitted along with a proposal to upgrade the school's existing sports hall and build an additional multi-purpose sports facility at its Bidston Road campus, featuring rooms for fitness activities, meetings and events.
