Liverpool nudges local plan towards submission
Summary
Liverpool City Council is preparing to consult on its latest draft local plan before submitting it to the Planning Inspectorate. The refreshed spatial strategy sets out land allocations intended to support delivery of 33,500 homes and 5.8m sq ft of employment space up to 2043, with adoption currently expected by September 2027.
Why it matters
Local plan progress can influence housing supply, development pipelines and site-specific planning prospects across the city. Surveyors working in valuation, development appraisal or planning-related advisory roles may need to track the allocations and timetable as they affect land value and deliverability assumptions.
Key points
- Six-week public consultation is due to begin in August.
- The draft plan will be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate after cabinet approval.
- The plan identifies 150 sites for potential development over the next 15 years.
- Around half of the housing target is expected to come from approved or committed schemes.
- Major schemes referenced include Festival Gardens, Liverpool North Docks and Paddington Village.
