Flats described as “overbearing” were approved despite objections from local residents and councillors.
A bungalow can now be knocked down and replaced with a three-storey building featuring six flats at 9 Caldy Road in West Kirby. The flats will be similar to those built next door at 7 Caldy Road.
Those in favour of the scheme, 7 to 5, argued there wasn’t grounds to refuse the application at a Wirral Council planning committee meeting despite concerns over a lack of light to one room if the development went ahead.
