Anwyl Homes Lancashire has submitted a planning application to Sefton Borough Council to build the first two phases of an up to 840-home development site off School Lane in Maghull, a town north of Liverpool.

The developer has submitted planning proposals to construct 249 homes on a 15.7-acre site, including 175 private sale properties and 74 affordable homes, as part of a phased development. Of the 74 affordable homes, 52 will be for rent and 22 will be for shared ownership. 

The broader 80-acre strategic site, allocated for mixed-use, including 1,400 dwellings, is part of the Sefton local plan and Maghull Neighbourhood plan and is part-owned by Anwyl Homes, and two other private landowners.
