The scheme could see millions of pounds and jobs brought into the area
116 new homes and a playground close to the Mersey are up for approval by councillors in Wirral next week. The plans were first put forward by Persimmon Homes and Dibbins Estates Ltd in 2022. The homes, 23 of which will be affordable, would be built off Dock Road South in Bromborough near the Port Sunlight River Park on the banks of the Dibbinsdale Brook .
However concerns have been raised about the scheme by 54 people raising concerns about traffic through the Mersey View estate, overlooking, construction noise, flood risk, the environment, and crime. Cllr Jo Bird also made a number of comments on the application. Responding to traffic concerns through nearby estates, the council report said it “will have some impact to existing residents in terms of increased traffic” but the current plans were the best solution available.
