A South Liverpool golf club hopes to press on with upgrades despite its plans to develop a new hotel being compared to a train station.
In December, proposals for a 66-bed hotel above the remains of a listed building at Allerton Manor golf club were rejected after councillors compared them to Milton Keynes train station. Now, Allerton Golf Trading Ltd, which has operated the club since it took over from Liverpool Council nine years ago, has set out plans to undertake works to and within the existing golf course.
Proposals include building of a part subterranean pavilion incorporating a shop and golf related facilities with associated enclosed refuse area, extension to elevated terrace and installation of retractable roof over layout adventure golf course and practice putting green, reconfigure golf course to form a single 18 hole golf course, creation and retention of new tees and greens, and the layout of a new ornamental lake and balancing pond.
