Liverpool approves Integritas’ 12-storey resi

The developer will deliver 62 apartments in the city’s Pumpfields district.

Liverpool City Council approved Integritas Property Group’s plans to create a 12-storey residential block off Naylor Street at its planning committee meeting this morning. This decision was made in line with officer recommendations.

Designed by SNOW Architects, the scheme will see the demolition of the three warehouse buildings on site to make way for the apartments. The building will reach 12 storeys at its highest point and step down to nine storeys.

Plans feature 31 one-, 28 two-, and three three-bedroom flats, ranging from 500 sq ft to 1,000 sq ft.

Residents will have communal access to a first-floor roof terrace, along with two commercial units totalling 3,800 sq ft. These units are reserved for a variety of uses including a shop, offices, and a restaurant or café.

There will be 27 car parking spaces provided, including six accessible and three electric vehicle charging bays, as well as 84 cycle stands.

All flats will be available for private sale or rent, with no affordable housing proposed due to viability concerns.

The city council still deemed the development acceptable as it will create apartments near to the city centre, constitute a significant financial investment in the district, and contribute to the urban regeneration of the area in line with the aspirations of the local plan, according to a council report.

Planning and Building Design is advising Integritas Property Group on the proposals. BCA Landscape is landscape architect for the scheme, while Croft Transport Solutions is advising on travel.

This is not IPG’s first venture into Liverpool’s Pumpfields district. The company’s £41.5m Bastion project borders Oriel Street and Naylor Street and will boast 240 homes when work is completed.
