Peel Holdings recently submitted an outline planning application to Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council for their Wirral Waters scheme.

Wirral Waters is a major mixed use development on the cleared site adjacent to East Float, Dock Road Seacombe. The application seeks permission for:

    * 422,752 sq m of office space
    * 13,521 residential units
    * 100,00 sq m of cultural, education, leisure, community and amenity space
    * 60,000 sq m of retail and food uses
    * 38,00 sq m of hotel and conference facilities
    * A further 485,000 sq m of space within any of the above classes
    * Associated parking, landscaping, public space and infrastructure

Further details are available the Wirral Waters website or from Wirral MBC (Application number OUT/09/06509)

Peel Holdings are also progressing proposals for Liverpool Waters – a similar major mixed use scheme of approximately 60 hectares along the North Liverpool Docks.

Liverpool City Council has asked the Chamber for views on the Wirral Waters scheme. We will be responding to both Liverpool City Council and Wirral MBC, and are therefore very keen to hear views from members.

For any comments, please contact Esther Sumner in the Policy Department – esther.sumner@liverpoolchamber.org.uk or 0151 227 1234 x2236. You may also submit comments directly to Wirral MBC.
