Nearly 100 homes could be built on former Alder Hey site

An application to build a housing development of 98 homes on Springfield Gardens, found off Alder Road in West Derby, has been recommended for approval by officers when Liverpool City Council's planning committee meets on April 23. Developer Step Places plans to build 59 retirement apartments, 31 houses, eight supported housing apartments and 88 parking spaces on the site, which used to form part of Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

However, officers recommended the plans for approval. The report stated: "The redevelopment of this site is supported in principle by national and local policy, in that it would be located within a primarily residential area of the city and would provide a variety of residential uses. The scale, massing and height of the development is appropriate to the local context and therefore acceptable.

"The development would preserve the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed buildings and structures: Alder Lodge, Entrance to Sandfield Park, Thimble Hall, and Nelson Monument. It would further provide an accessible environment for all and meets with the Local Plan Policy requirements and associated guidance so that all potential users, regardless of mental or physical ability, age, or gender would be able to use the development safely and easily.
