Plans for 31 new homes in Netherley have been approved by Liverpool Council.
The proposals from Prospect Homes, which is owned by Riverside, would see a range of differently sized homes built on land between Vancouver Road, Damson Road, Laurus Close and Winnipeg Drive.
Liverpool Council's planning department approved the proposals earlier this month in a move that could take the total number of new homes in the area to more than 80 in the coming years.

Separate proposals for 51 homes on a nearby piece of open land were given the go ahead earlier this year.
In a submission to the council, Prospect Homes said the new development would bring the land back into use and would be accompanied with a range of improvements to surrounding footpaths and green spaces.
The report said: “The site has been designed to complement the surrounding area, maintaining connectivity through and enhancing an underutilised space.
“Well informed design and material choice will give the development longevity, contribute to the townscape by helping to create local identity and reduce antisocial behaviour.
“The proposals will bring new affordable homes for rent and shared ownership to an area with an identified need. The brownfield site currently has low amenity and visual value as such we feel these proposals represent a considerable improvement in this area.”
Prospect said it had undertaken extensive work with the community to get their views on the proposals, including an event at Netherley Youth and Community Centre at the start of 2020.
The designs have been altered slightly since first being submitted, with the finalised versions providing 12 two bedroom, 15 three bedroom, 2 four bedroom two storey houses and 2 two bedroom bungalows.
A number of local residents did oppose the plans in submissions to the council, with one presenting a petition based on the loss of open space.
Despite those objections, council planning officers approved the plans last week.
