Episode Details

Anwyl Homes is pushing ahead with plans for up to 258 new homes on green belt land in Maghull, sparking fierce local and political opposition. The developer argues the site qualifies as “grey belt” — low ecological value land that doesn’t serve core green belt goals — and claims it’s already bordered by housing and a school, minimizing sprawl impact. Critics, including MP Bill Esterson, demand development focus on brownfield sites and urge completion of existing nearby projects first. The proposal includes green spaces and pedestrian access, but residents worry about overdevelopment in an area already seeing rapid growth. Sefton Council is now consulting on the application, with public comments due by August 4.
