A small housing estate could be built in Garston eight years after a similar development failed to materialise.
Liverpool City Council received an application this week for 15 new houses and a communal car park to be built on an empty patch of grassland opposite the Grade II listed St Michael's Church on Church Road, Garston.
The plans, submitted by South Liverpool Homes housing association, would see 13 two-storey terraced and semi-detached houses and two bungalows built on the site, which used to house several industrial buildings and a pub, The Blackburn Arms. Six of the two- and three-bed houses are proposed to fall under the Rent to Buy scheme, with all other properties being made available for Affordable Rent.
