A public consultation has opened on plans for up to 140 new homes in Gayton.
Bellway Homes wants to build on land off Boathouse Lane and is asking locals for their views on it, before submitting an outlined planning application to Wirral Council.
The plans include starter homes and shared ownership homes, larger homes for families and smaller homes for people wanting to downsize in the area.
Bellway says 35% of the homes would be affordable. If 140 are built, that means 49 homes will be affordable.
The scheme also includes a public green space alongside the development, improved walking connections and a biodiversity net gain of at least 10%, along with investment in local infrastructure such as schools, healthcare and roads.
A Bellway spokesperson said: "We recognise that local people will want to know how proposals for new homes would affect roads, schools, healthcare and other services in the area."
"We want to hear from people about what they want to see and any concerns or questions they may have."
Details and the feedback form are at bellway-gayton.co.uk. The project team can also be contacted at info@bellway-gayton.co.uk or on 0808 143 4780.
We reported earlier this year that the postcode covering Gayton and wider Heswall is Merseyside's most expensive.
Bellway will then submit an outline planning application to the council.
