Transport planner JMP has advised on road and pedestrian access to overcome accessibility constraints on a site planned for development in Liverpool city centre for leisure, hotel, retail and residential purposes.
Central Regeneration has applied for planning permission for Central Village, adjacent to Liverpool Central Station, which will also incorporate a 170 space underground car park for the residential and hotel development and a street level car park for a further 470 vehicles.
The site, which will provide 5,000 sq m of commercial use and currently used for parking and rail related purposes, is about the size of a football pitch. The planned apartment development will provide 292 homes and the hotel will have 240 bedrooms.
The masterplan for the area incorporates the iconic Lewis’s and Watson buildings, which will be regenerated to provide high quality office, hotel, leisure and commercial space.
