An appeal has been launched into a controversial housing development in South Liverpool that sought to put an additional storey on to existing properties.
In July last year, following a four month campaign, Liverpool Council’s planning department confirmed that it would not allow an application to go ahead for the building of another level on the existing building at Beech Court, Allerton. Members of the action group made up of concerned residents, who dubbed themselves Extension Rebellion, said they were pleased with the decision.
Applicant RachMarc Properties had sought to add on a new floor above the current three storey building that consists of 30 two-bed flats. According to the application submitted to Liverpool Council by peter Hamilton planning consultancy (correct) on behalf of RachMarc, the proposed development would have included one two bed and eight further one bed apartments on top of the existing block of flats.
