Councillors have rubber-stamped controversial plans by developer Redrow Homes to build homes on green land in Liverpool's Calderstones Park. The council has also approved the sale of a number of properties at the park and is considering selling off other sites as part of its £1bn regeneration plan. But despite the strong opposition, Liverpool City Council's planning committee voted four to one to approve the plans for 51 luxury homes on the Harthill estate.
Councillors have rubber-stamped controversial plans by developer Redrow Homes to build homes on green land in Liverpool's Calderstones Park. Campaigners had argued that the area was part of the park and up to 200 people demonstrated against the proposed development ahead of the vote. But despite the strong opposition, Liverpool City Council's planning committee voted four to one to approve the plans for 51 luxury homes on the Harthill estate.
