UK housebuilder Redrow's controversial development of 160 homes on the old Allerton Priory site in Liverpool would destroy a "mosaic of habitats which are of ecological value", according to Rachael Rhodes, an ecologist from Merseyside Environmental Advisory Service. “The woodland provides a habitat corridor for bird, small mammal and invertebrate species to move through the site to adjacent sites within the Green Wedge. The plans were approved by Liverpool's planning committee last month and have been opposed by local residents who say they will damage the character of their neighbourhood.
