Wirral pushes on with revamp schemes

The council has set up a fund for land and property purchases that would help finance its significant borough regeneration strategy over the coming years.

Crossfield Construction has been appointed to deliver the £3.1m redevelopment of Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre.

The developer’s residential arm has submitted an application to build 81 homes on land between the B5419 and Clock Face Road in Sutton Heath. 

The housebuilder is seeking reserved matters approval for the last residential plot at the former Prysmian Cables factory site, taking development across the scheme to 666 homes.

The online retail giant is understood to have exchanged contracts for Peel Logistics Property’s site, which can accommodate a warehouse of up to 835,000 sq ft.

Peel L&P’s proposed multi-modal terminal on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal has been included in Liverpool City Region’s bid for ‘freeport’ status, despite it being in Greater Manchester.

Housebuilders Redrow and Bellway are looking to separately develop hundreds of homes across four plots close to the railway line at Halewood, in schemes tipped for approval by the council next week.

The developer has submitted its planning application for the 160,000 sq ft glass research and innovation facility in St Helens, and contractor Bowmer + Kirkland has been appointed to build the first phase. 

Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre is to be redeveloped, after the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority agreed to fund the £3.1m project.
