Planning committee
Decided by Liverpool Planning Committee on 30 Jun 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the venue supports the area’s creative regeneration despite conflict with employment-land policy.
- Objections raised concerns about noise, disturbance, anti-social behaviour and highway danger, while a nearby business supported the venue’s cultural benefits.
- The committee voted unanimously to approve the application subject to conditions, correcting Condition 8 and removing the S106 informative.
