AN apartment block will be built in Noctorum if plans get the go-ahead from councillors.
If LSF Estates Ltd's development is approved, the three-storey building - described as a "homage to the traditional buildings found on the street" would occupy land at Beverley on Vyner Road South.
The scale of the building is "designed to harmonise with the surrounding properties", according to a design and access statement submitted along with planning documents by Shack Architecture Ltd on behalf of LSF Estates Ltd.
The block would contain five apartments. There would also be associated car parking, landscaping, external storage sheds, and refuse store, a new vehicular crossing and parking spaces for five vehicles. Each space will have an electric vehicle charging point.
The planning documents state that the apartment's garden and seating areas will be finished in porcelain tile.
Part of the front wall and an existing gate post would be demolished in order to widen vehicular access with electric security gates. The car park will be bounded by low hedging.
The design and access statement prepared by Shack Architecture Ltd continued: "The scheme presented in this planning application is a result of careful planning and detailed pre-application discussions with Wirral BC.
"Additionally the lime mortar and Flemish bond to the brickwork provides a traditional element that pays homage to the traditional buildings found on the street.
"The scale and massing of the building have been carefully designed to integrate with the street scene and in particular with its immediate neighbours.
"The site layout has been carefully designed to take into consideration the orientation of the plot and the location of the surrounding buildings.
"We believe that this scheme creates a good piece of architecture that fits into its context well.
"Its proportions, materials and roofscape sit easily in its immediate context and contributes positively to a vibrant street scene.
"We believe that this scheme is worthy of support and would ask that consideration be given to approving this project."
