Plans for major changes to a car park at Formby beach are set to be approved.
The proposals, submitted to Sefton Council by the National Trust, involve relocating the existing car park on Formby beach to an area further inland near woodland dunes. The current location of the car park is in a special area of conservation and its removal will allow sand dunes to reform in the area, according to a planning officer’s report due to be discussed at a meeting of the borough’s planning committee next week.
The report adds that the extent of the new car park, to be constructed closer to Victoria Road, is currently unclear and will depend on the amount of rubble removed from the existing site but is likely to be no more than 237 spaces.
