Liverpool City Council is seeking feedback from the community on the 20 to 30-year development planned for the waterfront.
Last year, the council teamed up with West 8 and BDP to draw up its vision for the regeneration of the city’s waterfront.
Now the public are being asked to provide feedback on a draft during an eight-week consultation, which will run until 8 August. A key focus will be improving connectivity and linkages and the creation of a new public realm. The vision will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications and public and private investment.
Following the consultation, it is expected that the final supplementary planning document will be tabled to Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet by Autumn this year.
Liam Robinson, leader of Liverpool City Council, said: “Our vision for the riverfront is to honour its heritage while embracing innovation. This plan should be both a celebration of our rich maritime history and a blueprint for embracing its potential, helping to grow communities and create new jobs.”
Nick Small, cabinet member for development and growth at Liverpool City Council, said: “It has been transformed over recent decades and is once again a part of the city’s economic engine. Now, with this new plan, we all have a chance to play our part in shaping its future.”
