West Lancashire Council approves water tower conversion into family home in Ormskirk, despite neighbors' concerns.

A Victorian water tower in Ormskirk, Lancashire, is set to be converted into a family home featuring a 17-meter glass structure on top. Despite concerns from neighbors regarding sunlight, privacy, and potential tourism, West Lancashire Council has approved the project. The Grade II* listed tower, noted for its Romanesque arches, has been vacant for years and was previously granted permission for conversion in 2017, requiring a new application due to time constraints.
