Great Homer Street, Liverpool

This £150 million project known as 'Project Jennifer' aims to regenerate an area of north Liverpool around Great Homer Street and Scotland Road. This area of the city has suffered a considerable decline over the last 40 years, and in 2003 Liverpool City Council issued the 'Proposed Scotland Road District Centre' tender documents. After a successful competitive submission, and working closely with St Modwen Properties and the design team, we set about producing a master plan to form the basis of an Outline Planning Application.

The proposed scheme will provide a 110,000 sq.ft of foodstore, 90,000 sq.ft of District Centre retail units along with a Primary Care Trust facility, new library and indoor/outdoor market. Also included within the master plan is 70,000 sq.ft of employment space along with over 480 new homes in a mix of apartments and houses.

Central to the design of the scheme has been a comprehensive rethink of the Public Realm strategy across the whole of this 50 acre site (informed by a very detailed Urban Design Analysis) to dramatically improve visual and physical links and permeability across the site.

The scheme submitted for Outline Planning Approval was the product of extensive consultation, including the Project Jennifer Forum, a group representing the local residents, businesses and community representatives. As well as attendance at the forum, the plans were presented at two Public Consultation events, following detailed development work with the City's Planning and Urban Desginers.

As with a project of this size the scheme was also presented to CABE and LUDCAP for initial comments and these were included into the design over a further period of development.

It is envisaged that through continued liaison with the Planning, Urban Design Officers and CABE's Regional Representatives, we can continue to develop the project following the recent granting of Outline Planning Permission Approval.
