An application to expand a Liverpool YMCA facility will be looked at again after councillors asked for further detail.
Members of Liverpool Council ’s planning committee had been expected to give the go-ahead for an increase in units of supported accommodation from 17 to 22 at a YMCA facility on Lister Road, Fairfield, this morning. The site comprises a large semi-detached Victorian villa used to provide 17 supported service units to people experiencing homelessness and, operated by YMCA Together.
Concerns were raised by a number of councillors however, with a report to the committee detailing how a number of bedrooms would be solely lit by roof lights, which contradicts planning policy. Issues were also raised about the expansion of the property and the impact it would have on the surrounding neighbourhood.
