00:00The construction of thousands of new homes, parks and improved transport connections on the northern edge of Liverpool City Centre
00:08has taken a step closer.
00:10Liverpool City Council has adopted a transformative master plan for the Pumpfields and Lime Kilns area, which would be connected
00:17with the authority's wider regeneration proposals.
00:21Members of the local authority's cabinet have endorsed a strategy in the form of a supplementary planning document, embracing the
00:27site's past while creating a sustainable, vibrant, mixed-use new neighbourhood, delivering new homes along with improved infrastructure and community
00:36facilities.
00:36The SPD sets out how the vital but neglected district represents a critical part of the jigsaw linking the heart
00:45of Liverpool to the established residential communities to the north and the emerging regeneration areas along the waterfront.
00:52An SPD is a technical document that planning authorities can produce to provide guidance on planning policies in a local
00:59plan.
00:59Under the new vision outlined by the Council, the area around Pumpfields and Lime Kilns could become a highly sustainable
01:07extension of the city centre, accommodating substantial housing growth and optimising strategic economic benefits.
01:14The proposed development seeks to unlock and reintegrate the site through the creation of new and improved connections with the
01:20surrounding neighbourhoods and wider city.
01:22Among the infrastructure is the potential for approximately 7,823 new homes.
