Land housing a former church built almost 90 years ago is to become a supported living facility in Allerton.
St Bernadette’s Roman Catholic church on Heath Road closed to parishioners in 2015 and almost eight years on is to be given a new lease of life. Members of Liverpool Council’s planning committee have signed off on proposals by Regenda Homes for 11 one-bedroom apartments for people with learning disabilities alongside staff accommodation and communal facilities.
The new building will stand two-storeys high with a communal lounge situated on the lower floor alongside communal rooms, with the remaining six flats on the first floor next to an additional assisted bathroom. Car parking will be provided for 13 cars including three accessible spaces and one electric vehicle charging point.
