McDonald's charity lodges objection to controversial park housing

A charity supporting families of sick children founded by McDonald’s is among those objecting to a controversial housing development on former hospital land.

Under the plans submitted by Manchester-based Step Places, 59 retirement units would be built alongside 31 houses and eight autism assisted living units would now feature. When the original plans were submitted for the old demolished Alder Hey site, almost 500 objections were lodged with the city council - an online petition of more than 1,300 signatories has been submitted alongside a series of formal objections.

Documents made public ahead of a Liverpool Council planning committee next Tuesday have laid bare the litany of objections registered regarding the development. Among them was ward member Cllr Joanne Kennedy. Members of Friends of Springfield Park - who have campaigned to have the area restored back to the community - set out their fears the development may discourage people from using the green space. Ronald McDonald House Alder Hey is immediately opposite the application site with the charity offering its own concerns.
