Plans for a 66-bed hotel above remains of a listed building at a Liverpool golf course were compared to Milton Keynes train station as it was rejected by councillors.
An application had been made by the operating company of Allerton Manor Golf Club to construct a four-storey extension above its Grade II listed Manor House structure to accommodate a new hotel and basement spa. However, Liverpool Council has said no to the proposals over size, scale and impact on the green space.
Plans had originally been put forward for a 31-bed development which representatives from Allerton Golf Trading Ltd said were no longer viable financially and had hoped the new scheme would be able to be constructed in its stead. Work has already begun on wider improvements at the golf club including a pavilion golf shop, adventure golf course, relocated putting green, driving range and reconfiguration of the golf course to form a single 18 hole golf course, access and associated external works and reconfiguration and expansion of car parking across the site.
