Planning for
growth
LIVERPOOL residents are
being asked to help shape the growth and development of the City
over the next 15 years. The City has launched a 4 month
consultation over its Local Plan, which aims to provide the housing,
business, industrial units and infrastructure the City needs.
Liverpool's Local Plan is aimed at delivering over 40,000 new homes
and 300 hectares of land for industrial and commercial use by 2028,
and the consultation gives people the chance to have a direct input
into future planning policy by sharing their views on what the plan
should contain.
To have their say, people should visit:-
liverpool.gov.uk
and follow the link. There is the option of providing a 'quick
comment' on what they would like to see in the plan, or of
providing a more detailed response by answering a series of
questions on housing, employment and development using a more
detailed feedback form.
Views are being sought on a range of planning issues, from the
management of certain types of development such as student housing
and hot food takeaways, to the provision of open space; and from the
design of new homes and shopping areas to the protection of the
historic environment.
Through the consultation, there is also a 'Call for Sites',
with people being asked to air their views on locations where
development should happen, sites which should not be developed, and
areas which should be developed carefully.
Liverpool City Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Councillor
Malcolm Kennedy, said:- "Liverpool's Local Plan is a really
important document, which will guide the development of our City at
a crucial time for us. We have to ensure that we have a plan which
can drive the City forward despite the difficult economic climate
and deliver the Mayoral priorities for growth. What's equally
important is that we take on-board the views of local people, so
that they are fully involved in the development of the plan and have
the opportunity to play their part in setting out the way forward
for Liverpool over the next couple of decades. This consultation
will feed into our final Local Plan document which will include
specific sites for development. So it's important that people get
involved at this stage. We want this entire process to be as
inclusive as possible, and we welcome all views, from all sections
of the community."
The areas which Liverpool's Local Plan will cover include:-
► Allocating sufficient land to meet housing, business and other
development needs
► Setting out opportunities for
development
► Determining clear policies on
what will and will not be permitted
► Indications of broad locations
for strategic development and allocating specific sites for
development
► A clear strategy for enhancing
the natural, built and historic environment
As part of the consultation, the City Council will be hosting three
'Find Out More' events on 21 January at 3pm, 23 January at
10am and 29 January at 3pm. For more information on event locations
and to book a place in advance, people should call:- 0151 233 3021.
As well as being available on-line, consultation forms are also
available at community libraries or can be obtained by calling:- 0151
233 3021.
The Local Plan consultation runs until 31 March 2014. The final
Local Plan document is expected to be adopted by the City in late
2015 or early 2016.

performances; in the these sumptuous surroundings; previous to the
main event, for which tickets are available separately also.
The Martini Lounge's Valentine's event will feature a unique the
line-up of performers, which will be revealed in the New Year, but
organiser Millie Dollar has pulled out all the stops and managed to
bag the veritable Tour de Force that is Velma Von Bon Bon as compère
for the evening. Endearingly silly and daintily sexual, Velma never
fails to raise a good old fashioned belly laugh with her hilarious
blend of off the wall humour. Sexy and funny at the same time, there
is no doubt that Velma can slip into to the role of the master of
ceremonies with ease and host a show to remember. And of course no
evening would be complete without a show stopping routine from
