Peel to Hold ‘Liverpool Waters’ Community Consultation Event

ON 29 January 2010 and 30 January 2010, Peel will be hosting a community consultation event in respect of this magnificent project titled Liverpool Waters to show their latest development plans for the redundant docks area north of the Pier Head in Liverpool. The open event will take place in the shop at 9 Whitechapel in Liverpool city centre located between the Met Quarter and Lord Street - from 10 am to 5 pm both days.

Members of the public of all ages are invited. There will be a colouring competition for kids aged up to 12 years with the chance to win an iPod. Visitors will be able to meet Peel’s team, see artists’ impressions and a scale model of the draft Liverpool Waters scheme and will be invited to give their views. An outline planning application is currently being prepared. This £5.5 billion waterside development scheme is the largest urban regeneration project in the UK extending to over 150 acres of currently derelict dockland. The proposals are designed to transform the site from an inaccessible, under-used area with a poor quality environment into a high quality, mixed-use new quarter of Liverpool where people can live, work and enjoy the spectacular waterfront. Peel’s vision for Liverpool Waters includes creating a major sustainable community in this part of the city. It is being designed to make a significant contribution to the economic resurgence of Liverpool and its wider area, accommodating new and existing residents and increasing the number of visitors to the city. Part of Liverpool Waters is being planned by Peel to accommodate city centre expansion. It is also intended to stimulate regeneration in adjoining areas of the city centre, north Liverpool and the wider area.

The mixed use development will include offices /commercial areas, new homes and visitor attractions with supporting uses, local shops and services. Based on a 30 year programme, Peel’s aspiration is that Liverpool Waters will become home to a substantial workforce and population, delivering many thousands of new jobs and homes.

Part of the site lies in Liverpool’s World Heritage site. Peel’s proposals are being designed carefully to protect and conserve the historic features of the area, keeping the important heritage of the docks and showcasing their history. The project is to be exhibited for six months in Shanghai, China, at the largest international exhibition ever held:- “World Expo 2010” - where Liverpool will have a dedicated pavilion. The Expo will serve to reinforce the role of Liverpool and the wider North West region. The aim is to attract international and national investment to Liverpool allowing the city to compete with the best waterfront cities in the world. Liverpool is the only UK city to have a dedicated presence at Expo 2010. Lindsey Ashworth, Development Director at Peel said, “We urge all who live or work in the Liverpool area to come to our consultation event at the end of this week. This is a great opportunity to see first hand what the scheme now entails and to find out what progress has been made over the last 12 months. Peel and their team will welcome questions and be pleased to hear comments from visitors.”

Consultation Dates:- Friday, 29 January 2010 to Saturday, 30 January 2010, from 10 am

Venue:- 9 Whitechapel, Liverpool - L1 6DS
