Liverpool still “laying the groundwork for long awaited development”, well we’ve had our new team of regeneration directors in place for nearly two years now , and except for endless plans and consultations, see no real signs of much happening eg Pall Mall, Moorfields, Williamson Square,Ten Streets,etc
You would normally see evidence of planning applications coming to light but except for Legacie and one or two others reviving other people’s stalled sites there’s not much to show.

As an IDNO Eclipse Power Networks we work closely with developers on grid connections as an alternative to the DNO, it’s great to see continued investment across the North—especially as someone based in Preston.

Where is the evidence that Liverpool is a hotspot, when was the last time a planning application came in for a building over 30 storeys? The Lexington and The Lighthaus on Princes Dock were the last, and they received planning permission years ago. At the moment we are awaiting the Packaged Living Towers of which the tallest is 25 storeys , and there is the Norton site which has planning permission for 27 storeys I think, but the project is for sale.
