Property developer Elliot Lawless has vowed to fight a Liverpool Council decision to block a proposed project near Toxteth.
A plan for more than 180 student bedrooms and 105 apartments on Falkner Street was rejected after a third hearing by Liverpool Council’s planning committee this morning. It was the third time the plans had been heard, having previously been rejected in March.
Now Mr Lawless has confirmed he will look to appeal the decision immediately. In a statement, Mr Lawless, founder of the Elliot Group, which made the application to Liverpool Council, said: “I am advised by my planning team that we have a very strong case and have instructed them to begin work immediately preparing our appeal.”
