Redrow Homes will appeal against Liverpool city council's decision to block a controversial housing plan for 160 homes on the 33-acre Allerton Priory site and will ask for a public inquiry. But now Redrow has launched an appeal of the committee’s decision and asked for a public inquiry to take place. "We respect the strong opinions," said Redrow's Matt Grayson, adding that the homes were much needed and the appeal is part of the standard planning process. "This scheme is overwhelmingly not wanted by residents, local councillors or the mayor," said Rachel O'Byrne, a Labour councillor. The council has been accused of "playing politics with people's lives".
