Great Homer Street, Liverpool

Pozzoni has created the masterplan to regenerate a 50-acre area of north Liverpool

The project
Pozzoni was commissioned in 2003 to design the masterplan for what will be the largest regeneration scheme Liverpool has ever seen. The 50-acre site between Great Homer Street and Scotland Road has suffered a lack of investment and subsequent decline over the past 40 years. The project will create a new district centre for inner north Liverpool.

The redevelopment will breathe new life into the area and provide the local community with a sustainable future.

The proposed scheme
The masterplan is a product of extensive consultations with the local planning authority, Government Office North West, CABE, local community organisations, end users and the public. Results of the public consultation showed the local community to be 92% in favour of the plans.

Already the scheme is being heralded as a shining example of best practice in private/public sector partnership. Phased implementation should see the project starting in 2013.

The scheme will provide:

New retail, including a 110,000 sq. ft. Sainsbury’s and a market hall
Contemporary community facilities, including a library
PCT health provision and care facilities
Public realm improvements and pedestrian routes, allowing the area to develop more cohesive relationships with surrounding areas
Leisure facilities
Notre Dame school
300 residential units
70,000 sq. ft. of employment space

Current status
The scheme obtained outline planning permission in 2007. The compulsory purchase process is now taking place. This is due to complete in November 2012.
