Planning committee

Decided by Liverpool Planning Committee on 28 Jul 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the scheme would provide affordable homes, reuse a vacant brownfield site and deliver substantial planning benefits.
  • Residents raised concerns about traffic, parking, height, design, conservation area character, privacy and pedestrian safety; one response supported regeneration.
  • The committee voted unanimously for approval, subject to conditions and a legal agreement.

Site constraints 5

Princes Park conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Article 4 direction
The Liverpool (Anfield, Central, Greenbank, Kensington and Fairfield, Picton, Princess Park, Riverside, Tuebrook and Stoneycroft and Wavertree wards and parts of Kirkdale and Church wards) (Article 4(. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Tree preservation order: Former Archbishop Blanche School, Sefton Park Road.
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Air quality management area: Liverpool City AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
