Hoose Court Demolition Plans
A planning application (here) has been submitted for the demolition of 1-43 Hoose Court. Hoose Court consists of multiple blocks of flats offering sheltered housing for the elderly. The complex is on Market Street and backs onto Hazel Road and is managed by Wirral Partnership Homes. The block containing flats 1-43 is the road facing one.
When this story broke last year, local MP Stephen Hesford was quoted as saying he would be investigating the demolition plans. I am not aware if anything came of that.
On the submitted forms it is stated that demolition is required as the property is unable to reach New DecentHomes standard as set out by government. The application states:
site is to be landscaped and remaining site is to be serviced by new boiler room contained within a single existing domestic garages within a block of 8 garages.
I wonder what the landscaping will be?
It is not specified if the remaining blocks will also become subject to demolition at some future date.
A suggested start date is 11th January 2010, completing on 26th March, 2010

Living in Chapel Road we have a good neighbour in the self contained flats in Hoose Court beyond our back yard.
We therefore know that Wirral Partnership Homes have recently refurbised the kitchens and bathrooms in the self contained flats in the rear blocks. So I don’t see it that the remaining blocks are likely to be demolished as well in the near future.
Once they have demolished the front blocks we,like you, will be very interested to see what the landscaping will be . . .
