19 Black Horse Hill, West Kirby, Wirral, Merseyside, CH48

Key Features

  • Prime residential development land with detailed planning consent for 5 homes
  • Located in the affluent town of West Kirby, within an established residential area.
  • Signed and dated Section 106 Agreement

Description

Planning permission was granted on 27 August 2026 (Application No: APP/25/01681) for a change of use for the former pub and restaurant to Class E and the erection of 5 dwellings with associated access, parking and landscaping. The conditions have been separated out between the commercial and residential phases of the permission to allow for conditions to be discharged separately without the need for coordination with the current owners of the site.

In addition, a Section 106 has been completed, again dated 27 August 2026, which requires the future purchaser of this site to pay a commuted sum of £23,082.16. There is a BNG payment for off-site units required, which impacts the site as a whole. This will be paid for by the current owners and the relevant condition discharged.

The site occupies an attractive and highly accessible position within the sought-after town of West Kirby. The site lies approximately 0.6 miles from the heart of West Kirby, placing its wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants and other amenities within easy walking distance. West Kirby railway station is within walking distance (0.8 miles) providing regular Merseyrail services towards Liverpool and the wider Wirral.

The location is particularly well suited to family housing, with an excellent choice of highly regarded schools close by; Black Horse Hill Primary School is approximately 0.3 miles away, while Calday Grange Grammar School and West Kirby Grammar School are both within approximately 0.7 miles. The site, therefore, combines convenient access to West Kirby town centre within an established residential setting, excellent educational provision and the wider lifestyle benefits associated
with one of the Wirral's most desirable locations.

The majority of the site comprises car parking hardstanding and former beer garden, along with the
additional woodland area.

The woodland could be included with the sale of plot 1 or may be suitable for future development, subject to planning. The site is accessed directly from Black Horse Hill to the site's Eastern boundary.

The site's current owner is currently progressing works on site to convert the existing public house to a convenience store under the same planning consent.
