Liverpool City Council has been recommended to approve proposals for a residential-led mixed-use development on the site of the former Tate & Lyle sugar refining factory.
The committee is expected to make a decision on Tuesday next week following the morning meeting.
The development site sits next to the railway viaduct and the corner of Pall Mall and Love Lane. The existing buildings are expected to be demolished to allow the construction of four residential blocks.
The scheme, to be delivered by Widnes-based Sourced Development Group and Network Rail, will create 507 flats of one-, two- and three-bedrooms, 145 of which will be classified as affordable. There will be 30,000 sq ft of ground floor shops, leisure facilities, workspaces and cafés.
The developers have also proposed creating a new public realm spine on the west side of the new buildings as well as the live viaduct railway arche.
The scheme, designed by WSJ Architects, is set to be brought forward in four phases, starting with the first block comprising 130 flats.
There are two residential blocks proposed of 116 flats each to be brought forward over the next phases, with the final block in the scheme spanning across 145 flats.
