Rachel O'Byrne will appeal against Allerton Priory decision to block a controversial housing plan for up to 1,000 homes on the 33-acre Liverpool city council's site and will ask for a public inquiry. The Allerton Priory application does not form part of the council’s £205m deal with the company as their preferred housing partner to build 1,500 homes and bring up to 1,000 properties back into use over the next five years and the council has made it clear it does not want it to go ahead. "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 Redrow , a Labour councillor. A planning inspector will be appointed over the next eight to nine weeks , after which the hearing date will be announced.
