Search the Public Notice PortalPLANS TO demolish a 'dangerous eyesore' in the heart of Liscard have been submitted to the council.
Dominick House, a derelict office block on St Albans Road, has stood empty for around 10 years.
According to concerned local campaigners, the building has become a focus for anti-social behaviour and remains a safety risk due to falling glass.
The application has been submitted by the building’s leaseholder, Prospect Estates.
The building falls within the Liscard ward and has been a central concern for councillors and residents alike.
The area's ward councillors say the office block has become 'a dangerous eyesore at the heart of Liscard' and welcomed the planned demolition.
In a joint statement, councillors Graeme Cooper, Janette Williamson, and James Laing said: "We have long campaigned for something positive to be done with Dominick House, which has been a blight on Liscard for far too long.
"It is good news that there are finally now plans to demolish the building.
"A new start for the site will help to kick-start Liscard’s long-overdue regeneration.
"While we don’t yet know the long-term plans for the site, as local Labour councillors, we will always promote initiatives that support the community and help to boost regeneration.
"We have asked for more details, and will keep everyone in the Liscard community posted on further developments."
The councillors say demolition could mark the beginning of broader regeneration efforts in the area.
They added that Dominick House "has become badly damaged over the past decade, with broken windows and smashed doors and has fallen into dereliction".
The building has also reportedly attracted vandals "who frequently gain access, raising ongoing safety concerns for the community".
A demolition statement included with the planning application outlined the planned method for bringing down the structure safely and responsibly.
It states that a full site appraisal will be carried out before work begins, with secure fencing, welfare facilities, and skips to be brought on-site.
The statement says the building will then be fully stripped out, with materials sorted for recycling or disposal.
Demolition will begin at the rear of the building and move forward "in a section-by-section manner to ensure the structure remains stable throughout the process".
All necessary services will be safely disconnected, and materials will be segregated for recycling or reuse off-site.
Once the building has been fully demolished, the remaining floor slab will be broken up with an excavator.
The statement concludes that "the site will be cleared and left in a tidy condition to the satisfaction of all parties before the demolition team leaves".
The planning application, submitted by Mr R Cooke and managed by agent Mr Roger Lee, is currently under consideration by Wirral Council.
