The government is currently considering intervening in a decision on whether controversial homes can be built on Wirral’s greenbelt.
This comes as an inquiry over whether to allow 788 homes to be built by Leverhulme Estate across the Wirral continues. The plans have faced serious opposition with hundreds turning out to protest and thousands signing petitions.
Eight housing applications have been rejected by Wirral Council though Leverhulme said it has only appealed seven so far. These applications are the first stage of plans to build nearly 8,000 homes on the Wirral according to Leverhulme.
