On behalf of Countryside Properties, Persimmon Homes and The East Maghull Consortium, White Peak Planning have prepared and managed two hybrid planning applications for the development of adjacent land at Land East of Maghull, Sefton. Land East of Maghull is the largest allocation in the Sefton Local Plan and specific requirements for development are set out in Policy MN3.

White Peak Planning worked with the developers and landowners to prepare a Masterplan Report for the whole allocation, two hybrid planning applications for the separate residential parcels (Sites A and B) totalling approximately 1,750 dwellings and a joint EIA covering both applications and taking into account wider cumulative effects.

Alongside this, we also attended a pre-application public consultation event and helped managed a subsequent virtual public consultation on the draft Construction Environmental Management Plan.

We then prepared and managed an appeal against non-determination of the application for Site A and our Director, Chris Garratt acted as Planning Expert Witness at the Virtual Hearing in December 2020. The appeal was subsequently allowed in February 2021.

Planning permission for Site B was granted by Sefton Council in October 2021.

White Peak Planning are now assisting in the discharge of planning conditions.
