A Report by the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment outlined proposals for a public consultation on the local listed building consent order (LLBCO) for residential houses that are grade II listed in Port Sunlight village conservation area.

Members heard how there would be a 5 week public consultation period from 21st September to the 25th October 2015.
