Maghull’s Flood Risk vs New Homes | Liverpool News

A controversial proposal to build 103 homes in Maghull’s green belt is sparking fierce backlash, with locals and officials warning it could cripple flood defenses and strain vital services. Located behind an Aldi off Northway, the site—currently protected and not in the local plan—is already drawing over 230 petition signatures in its first day. Critics fear development will erase a natural flood buffer, worsen drainage in nearby estates, and overload schools and health centers without upgrades. Developers say they’re still in the pre-planning phase and will assess flood risks, but opponents insist sustainable growth must prioritize safety and the environment—not just profits.
