Plans for 34 executive homes on Sefton Park Meadows have been released, outlining developer Redrow’s vision for the South Liverpool site.

The 2.14 hectare site bordering Sefton Park has been the subject of controversy after Liverpool City Council agreed to sell the land for a housing development, where both sides of the debate were outlined in Your Move magazine.

Redrow has now revealed what the new homes will look like at the site, after plans were released online. Based on the existing Victorian villa-style homes surrounding Grade 1-listed Sefton Park, the homes will be based along the frontages of Queen’s Drive and Mossley Hill Drive, while the tree-lined Park Avenue will be retained through the centre of the site.

The homes themselves will be two and three-storeys with four or five bedrooms. The new ‘villa’ style homes will include multiple bathrooms and come in a range of designs, according to the developer. According to the documents materials will be used to match other properties in the area including red brick, grey slate roofs and sandstone walls and gateposts.

Redrow says all homes will have space for two parking spaces in the form of a double garage, patio areas in the rear garden and large front gardens with a lawn area. Prices for the Sefton Park Meadows homes have not been revealed but larger properties on Queen’s Drive will boast single driveways to minimize disruption to trees and provide a more exclusive address.

The plans also reveal 27 trees will be felled to make way for the development, although some will be replaced with semi-mature trees.

Campaigners from the Save Sefton Park Meadows group says it will now ‘scrutinise’ the application and submit ‘strongly argued objections’ to the plans.
