Proposals out to consultation and cover nearly 140 sites in city
Liverpool city council has begun consultation on an updated local plan that will guide and influence development and economic growth until 2041.
The plan sets out aspirations for growth including plans to deliver around 30,000 new homes.
The new plan adopts a ‘brownfield land first’ approach and the council said it is after views on 138 sites allocated for housing, employment and mixed use.
The plan, which was first revealed last year, covers the northern fringes of the city centre comprising North Docks, Ten Streets, Pumpfields and Limekilns, and Pall Mall/Moorfields.
Councillor Nick Small, cabinet member for growth and economy, said “During the public engagement last year, people told us about the need for accessible, affordable and diverse housing with more choice and with greater attention needed for community-building in new housing developments.
“Many people told us that this needed to be accompanied by improved public transport, active travel infrastructure, and climate resilient design.”
Initial comments on the plan run until 9 November with the next round of consultation beginning next summer.
Once the plan is approved by the council, it will then be submitted to government for sign-off.
