DEVELOPERS could build more than 80 houses on a former Littlewoods call centre.
The Kershaw Avenue complex, in Crosby, was bulldozed in the aftermath of the closure of the company’s Shop Direct business in April 2009 when 1,000 people lost their jobs.
The site once employed as many as 4,000 people.
Now housebuilder Bellway Homes North West has submitted an application to Sefton Council to construct 83 homes.
Eight properties on the “family-friendly” residential development would be three-bedroom detached, while a further 58 are earmarked to be four-bedroom detached.
Fourteen are expected to be three-bedroom semi-detached properties and three are planned to be three-bedroom mews.
The main vehicle and main pedestrian access will be from Northern Road.
Pedestrians would also be able to access the site through public open space facing Endbutt Lane.
Kershaw Avenue resident Robert Hayward, 69, said: “It is better than having a big supermarket there.”
