A local resident living close to an historic Sefton dairy has called for a public inquiry after claims milk bottling is causing “unacceptable” noise in the early hours.
The resident, David Matthews, made the comments in a written objection to an application submitted by Bates Farm and Dairy to Sefton Council. The Birkdale dairy, which has operated in the borough for 80 years, wants to vary restrictions on bottling times that were put in place following a previous planning application that was given approval last year.
That planning application sought permission for a new dairy building at the site, on Stamford Road, following partial demolition of a previous one.
