#News: A major new chapter in the transformation of Liverpool’s historic waterfront has begun.
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, with @lpoolcouncil, has this morning launched a six-week public consultation on proposals to establish a Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) for Liverpool’s North Docks.
The consultation asks residents, businesses, landowners and stakeholders to approve the name of the MDC, its boundary and its proposed powers.
Subject to approval, the MDC will build on the momentum generated by the new @EvertonStadium at Liverpool Waters, transforming 174 hectares of brownfield land into a dynamic extension of Liverpool city centre.
Plans include the delivery of 5 million sq ft of new commercial space and up to 17,000 new homes as well as new urban green spaces and cultural amenities.
A map released alongside the consultation illustrates the scope of the proposed area, stretching from the stadium into Liverpool's Commercial District and out to the Pumpfields neighbourhood.
The proposed MDC would be overseen by a Mayoral Development Corporation which would act as a dedicated vehicle to accelerate delivery across the area – unlocking investment, coordinating development and ensuring the North Docks fulfils its potential as a major hub for innovation, clean growth and high-quality urban living.
The proposed body, which would have an independent board, would have powers to purchase land, raise monies and make planning decisions.
It would also bring together a series of major regeneration priorities, including:
➡️ Central Docks by Peel Waters
➡️ The £1bn Kings development by Beetham Davos Ltd
➡️ A major Grade A office development at Pall Mall by Kier Property Management & Real Estate LLC
➡️ The conversion of Stanley Dock’s historic warehouse complex by Harcourt Developments
➡️ Expansion of Liverpool Cruise Terminal by Global Ports Holding
@MetroMayorSteve, said: “Liverpool’s North Docks represents one of the most exciting regeneration opportunities anywhere in the UK.
“We want to build a new future here that honours its heritage, unlocks its potential and leaves a legacy that future generations can be proud of.
"I hope anyone with an interest in the success of the area will take the time to have their say and help shape what comes next.”
