Everton FC to make new Bellefield training ground homes plan
Bellefield Everton training ground 320[LNB]EVERTON FC will make a second bid to build luxury homes on its former Bellefield training ground.[LNB]The club launched a public consultation exercise at the weekend with residents in West Derby about building 82 homes on the site - six more than last time round.[LNB]In 2008 Liverpool council blocked the club's plans to develop the site after some 220 residents objected to the proposals.[LNB]They were mainly concerned about increased traffic, extra pressure on local schools, doctors and dentists, and the loss of open space.[LNB] The club appealed against the decision but the case was dismissed.[LNB]The inspector said there was nothing to suggest the plans would have a detrimental effect on the living conditions of residents by virtue of the increased traffic movements.[LNB]But she also examined the principle of residential development having regard to loss of green space, housing and land supply matters, and its effect on the Housing Market Renewal Initiative.
