Residents Invited To Submit Views On Ten Streets Transformation

Construction News Image
Liverpool City Council are inviting residents to submit their views over plans to redevelop the Ten Streets area of the city.

Proposals include transforming around 125 acres of former docklands as well as establishing a creativity district, which could create up to 2,500 new jobs.

A draft Spatial Regeneration Framework (SRF) for the scheme has been approved and a public consultation will launch at the Titanic Hotel in Stanley Dock on Tuesday, 10 October.

The six-week discussion will invite feedback on the draft masterplan, which sets out 10 ideas to redevelop the area, five key themes and a set of design and development principles to guide the current and future development of the site over the next 15 – 20 years.

The Ten Streets vision, launched earlier this year, involves regenerating the northern edge of the city centre and the landmark Tobacco warehouse at Stanley Dock, which lies within Liverpool's World Heritage Site.

Earlier this year, the council appointed HOW Planning and shedkm to help shape the Ten Street SRF, which is proposing controls on the design and height of new developments in the area as well as ensuring commercial development and affordable rents within the Ten Streets district are protected.

Following the consultation, the final SRF is anticipated to return to the cabinet in December for approval and formal adoption as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). The SPD document will assist in the determination of all future planning applications and any potential use of the council's Compulsory Purchase Orders – both in the Ten Streets creativity district and surrounding areas, with the overall SRF area having been set out into six distinct buffer zones running from Leeds Street in the south to the land adjacent to Bramley Moore Docks in the north.

The proposed creativity district lies within Kirkdale. It has the potential for up to 1 million square foot of development and the council is keen to attract creative companies and enterprises to flourish alongside artistic organisations.

Joe Anderson, Mayor of Liverpool, said: "Ten Streets has phenomenal potential to transform North Liverpool and the city's future economy.

"This new framework document will no doubt be of huge interest to everyone who wants to see the transformation of this part of north Liverpool and the public consultation will be critical to shaping its direction."
