Planning committee

Decided by Wirral Planning Committee on 12 Mar 2026.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the wall’s removal would cause no heritage harm and could reduce parking overspill.
  • A 67-signature petition objected without giving reasons, while one representation supported the proposal for parking and highway safety reasons.
  • The committee unanimously approved the application subject to conditions requiring approved plans and details for reinstating the wall.

Checked on 18 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
