Plans for 99 new homes were unanimously rejected at a council meeting.
The application sought to build the homes on land west of Mill Lane in Newton-le-Willows, and it was recommended for refusal prior to St Helens Council committee meeting on December 6. Strong objections were submitted from neighbours in response to the plans.
Submissions were received from 41 separate addresses – 39 objecting and two in support of the application. The site of the proposed development was previously classed as green belt.
