A mum drove 18 hours from the south of France to join more than 100 protestors as a controversial application for 290 homes was rejected.
Wirral Council rejected the huge planning application on land near Irby in west Wirral across an area the size of more than 20 football fields with “some of the highest quality agricultural land in the country.”
The application was the seventh by the Leverhulme Estate as part of its plans to build 1,000 homes across west Wirral. Thousands of residents as well as councillors and local MPs have opposed the plans which would be built on the green belt.
