Plans submitted for 63 new Norris Green homes
REGENERATION Liverpool, the joint venture between Liverpool City Council and regeneration company Sigma Inpartnership, has submitted a planning application to build 63 new homes at Norris Green in north Liverpool.
The application represents the third phase of its £100m scheme at the former Boot estate, adding to the 115 new homes that are due to complete during the summer.
Subject to planning approval, the new phase off Heathwaite Crescent will contain a mix of two-, three- and four-bed houses.
Some 20 of these will be affordable properties and 43 will be sold on the open market to private occupiers. All of the properties will be built over two stories and a number of the three- and four-bed homes will have additional garages.
Sigma Inpartnership director Graeme Hogg said: “This is another exciting step in the transformation of the estate, with the emphasis on quality homes and environment being maintained.
“We are delighted that despite the extremely difficult commercial environment, we are managing to push ahead with mixed tenure product, due to the strength of interest being shown in the scheme. “
The homes will be built by development partner Countryside Properties.
Cllr Joe Anderson, leader of Liverpool City Council, said: “The work of our groundbreaking Regeneration Liverpool continues to gain momentum, and this is the latest example of how it is enabling us to bring massive improvements to our housing stock.”
