The Blundell Arms in Birkdale in Southport in 2016, on the last day it was open

A pigeon racing club in Southport is set to take flight to make way for new housing. 

Broadley Developments Ltd is looking to relocate Birkdale Homing Pigeon Racing Club to new premises nearby, as it looks to continue the redevelopment of the former Blundell Arms pub site at 34 Upper Aughton Road. 

The developer has already secured planning permission to build eight new houses on the land and wants to demolish the clubhouse too to make way for a ninth. 

A planning application has been submitted to Sefton Council. 

Andrew Cunningham Building Design, which submitted the plans on behalf of the developer, said in is application: “The site is occupied by the Birkdale Homing Pigeon Racing Club – a private members’ club, comprising a concrete block shed and a larger timber shed, on a small plot on a residential street. We understand these structures were constructed in the 1980s.

“The pigeon club was historically connected to The Blundell Arms pub, since demolished in the last few years.

“The wider former pub site and including this application site is now wholly owned by Broadley Developments Ltd – the applicant, who is in the process of constructing eight dwellings on the surrounding, former pub site.

“The pigeon club has been offered new premises in a nearby yard and the pigeon club will relocate and the sheds will thus become vacant. 

“This application proposes to redevelop this brownfield site, to demolish the sheds and to erect one family dwelling (Plot 9) as infill, in the same style as the adjacent eight newbuild dwellings.”
