Joint venture submits proposal for £110m 507-apartment scheme
Plans for a £110m 507-apartment scheme have been submitted to Liverpool City Council.
Widnes-based Sourced Development Group and Network Rail are behind proposals for the redevelopment of four sites – three adjoining plots on Love Lane and one further south on Pall Mall.
Designed by BDP, the quartet of residential blocks will reach between nine and 11 storeys and comprise apartments for market sale.
The scheme would feature 147 one-bedroom apartments, 330 with two bedrooms, and 30 with three beds.
The Sourced Development Group/Network Rail JV is waiting to hear back from the Sovini Group and Regenda Homes, which have been approached over delivering the scheme’s affordable element.
Redundant railway arches and subterranean tunnels located on two of the plots would be repurposed into more than 10,000 sq ft of commercial space under the proposals. A 200-metre linear park also forms part of the joint venture’s vision for the site.
A planning statement prepared by WSP states that discussions with Liverpool City Council’s planning team have been positive and that the authority is “supportive of the development proposals”.
The statement added: “The LPA also confirm their support to the massing, scale and general approach to design,.”
According to a viability appraisal prepared by Tim Claxton Property, the scheme has a net development value of £110m and will cost 101m to build.
The project team includes SK Transport, OFR, Wardell Armstrong, Simply CDM, Steven A Hunt and Associates, and Rachel Hacking Ecology.
The scheme is located in a growing area of Liverpool, close to Peel L&P’s Liverpool Waters and Everton FC’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
