unveiling the new vision to transform the city’s historic northern docks

More than a decade on from the approval of the Liverpool Waters Masterplan and waterside regeneration specialist, Peel Waters, has submitted a revised plan to Liverpool City Council, and unveiled its new vision to transform the city’s historic northern docks.

Brand new CGI images reveal Peel’s new vision for Liverpool Waters, which promises to create a more open, sustainable and community-centred place to live, work and visit, without compromising on scale and ambition.

The plan now incorporates the emerging destination at Everton’s new stadium, and includes more public green spaces and dockside open space to celebrate the site’s unique maritime heritage and preserve unique elements of the docks.

Diverse & affordable housing

The new plan also includes a more diverse and affordable housing offer, and will put sustainability, community, and accessibility at its heart, bringing people together, reducing the impact of climate change, and minimising the need for car travel.

Through enhanced infrastructure to support cycling, and better integration with public transport, the updated Liverpool Waters Masterplan will support Peel Waters’ wider strategy on environmental and economic sustainability.

The ambitious 30-year regeneration project covers a 60-hectare site, stretching north from Princes Dock, through Central Docks and Clarence Docks, and up to the city’s Northern Docks, and was first approved eleven years ago. The updated plan reflects societal change over the last decade and incorporates ideas put forward by the local community.

A community engagement exercise, carried out by Peel Waters last year, revealed that the people of Liverpool are overwhelmingly positive and excited about the regeneration that is underway at Liverpool Waters. The feedback received from the public has been a vital part of the process in creating and shaping the new vision.

a sustainable place for future generations to live, work and visit

Chris Capes, Development Director for Liverpool Waters, said: “Our new vision for Liverpool Waters is both exciting and inspiring, driven by the people of Liverpool and the urgent need to create a sustainable place for future generations to live, work and visit.

“As these new images show, we haven’t compromised on the scale and ambition of this project but we have reflected on what is most important for the future of this historic site, both as an international tourist destination and for the communities who want to live and work here every day.

“The views and feedback given by local people as part of this process has been incredibly valuable and we are very grateful to everyone who took the time to contribute to our engagement exercise on the future of our city’s waterfront and we are very pleased that we have been able to act on this feedback.

“The new Liverpool Waters Masterplan has now been submitted to Liverpool City Council and we look forward to hearing the outcome in due course.”
