A NEW ‘art-deco’ building including apartments and commercial space will be built on the Wirral.

The new four-storey development will be created on the site of an existing M&Co store that currently sits on land between Sandlea Park and Dee Lane in West Kirby.

Wirral Council’s planning committee voted unanimously to approve the plans at a meeting last week. The new development will include eight apartments and two commercial spaces.

As part of the project, two trees in Sandlea Park will be removed and replaced  with the Friends of Sandlea Park said to be in support.
