Two big plans for new homes in Wirral were submitted.
One of the proposals has been put forward by McCarthy Stone and would see 37 retirement homes built in Well Lane, Heswall, including 24 one-bedroom flats and 13 two-bedroom flats. The other, proposed by Nautilus International Ltd, seeks to build 27 supported living apartments for retired mariners on land off Richard Chubb Drive in Egremont.
The design and access statement for the Heswall plan, written by MCK Commercial Design, said the plan aims to provide a development which is sensitive to its surroundings and frees up existing family housing for local people. The firm said this would minimise the need for further development elsewhere.
