A developer that has seen two bids rejected to demolish an "eyesore" office block have taken their case to the government.
Last year members of the Council's planning committee blocked proposals for the redevelopment of Telegraph House in Crosby village after councillors raised concerns over affordable housing, access to outdoor space, and the development’s design. The move was a significant blow for the site's owner Crossfield Exclusive Development.
Crossfield bought the site for just over £1m in 2020 and, after seeing their second bid rejected in April this year, has appealed to the Planning Inspectorate. The application was submitted on 23 May 2022 and, if successful, has the power to overturn the decision made by Sefton Council.
