Liverpool-based developer Hassett Homes has submitted an application to build 20 properties on a prime site in Woolton.

The proposed £12 million development, designed by Drome Architects, comprises 16 four and five-bedroom homes for open market sale, along with with four two and three-bed units available for rent or shared equity. Two of the homes will be wheelchair adaptable.

The 2.34 acre site, accessed from School Lane on Camp Hill, utilises the former tennis courts of St Julie’s Catholic High School, which were rendered surplus when the school was re-built on an amended footprint.

Ben Thompson, Hassett Homes’ development director, says: “The site rises up Camp Hill and has a lovely leafy aspect looking across to Woolton village.

“The village offers an outstanding array of independent bars, cafes and restaurants and its distinctive Georgian architecture makes it enduringly popular. The area’s excellent schools ensure demand for housing is always high.”

Darren Muir, planning consultant at Pegasus Group, adds: ”The focus is on delivering high quality and much needed housing to the village, whilst adding value to the Woolton Conservation Area, recognising what makes it such a special place to be.”

The new homes are described as having a “high-quality contemporary design, using materials that respect the local character and context”.

Other consultants supporting the project include GIHP (heritage), Axis (Highways), Ascerta (ecology) and Square Yard (landscape design).

The application site is adjacent to Woolton Hall, built in 1704 for the first Viscount Molyneux and remodelled in 1772 by the leading architect of the Georgian era, Robert Adam. It is considered his finest work in the north of England.
