This is a draft of the Liverpool Local Plan. This document is NOT the Publication Version of the Local Plan and it is not a complete initial draft plan. This is because while the evidence of the need for a specific quantity of new homes has been identified there are a number of areas for which the evidence base is still being developed. This includes: Employment land Requirements (quantity and site assessments) Open space - (assessment of future needs and level /quality of existing provision to meet that need This means that the Employment Land and Economy and Green Infrastructure chapters will see further development, including site allocations and site designations, as the evidence above becomes available. The Shopping and Community Facilities chapter takes account of the emerging findings of the Retail and Leisure Study (2016) but may also require some further development. While not having all the evidence available at the same time presents practical issues, due to the fact the Government has stated that all Local Plans must be in place by 2017 it is important to undertake this consultation now, even though some of the sites which may need to be allocated cannot yet be identified. The Government has brought forward legislation through the Housing and Planning Act 2016 which will allow the Secretary of State to move the responsibility of the production of the Local plan from local planning authorities. In part the rationale for this is the national need to boost the delivery of new homes. However, Liverpool is not restricting the supply of new homes by not having a new plan in place. Despite this, it is important to bring the Local Plan forward as quickly as possible so that it reflects local decision-making. In addition this draft does not include a Policies Map or a Delivery and Monitoring Section.These will be developed for the next draft of the Local Plan. This draft Local Plan whilst not complete provides the context for further engagement and plan preparation over the coming months taking account of the available evidence and the need to deliver the sustainable growth of the City. What will be in the Local Plan 1.1 All Local Planning Authorities are required to prepare a local plan to guide the long term, strategic spatial development of their area. 1.2 Once adopted the Local Plan will provide a long-term spatial vision, strategic priorities and policies for future development in the City over the next 15-20 years. In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) it will provide a long-term spatial vision, strategic priorities and policies for future development in the City specifically with regard to the quantity and location of new homes, employment provision, shops, facilities and other services, transport and other infrastructure provision, climate change mitigation and adaption and the conservation and enhancement of the natural and historic environment. Additionally, it will set out: Development management policies that will guide the delivery of development in the City and will be used to determine planning applications. These policies will provide detailed advice to developers and others on the scale, design, accessibility, sustainability etc. of proposals; Site allocations for residential, employment, retail and other land uses across the City, to be shown on a map; and The Draft Liverpool Local Plan September 2016 1 1 Designations where land is proposed to be safeguarded or where specific policies apply, such as for District and Local Centres. 1.3 The Local Plan will be supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Programme (IDP) which will identify future infrastructure requirements (including physical, social and green infrastructure), to support population change and housing and employment growth.The IDP will confirm, where possible, the type and location of new infrastructure provision required, the reason for its requirement, and the lead agency in its delivery, together with its cost, phasing and sources of funding. 1.4 The Local Plan should be consistent with national planning policy and take into account policies and strategies produced locally. It will: Contain policies that will guide how the presumption in favour of sustainable development embodied in the NPPF should be applied locally Provide the strategic policy framework for Neighbourhood Plans in the City Be based on co-operation with neighbouring authorities, public, voluntary and private sector organisations 1.5 Compliance with European regulations on sustainability appraisal and habitat protection is also an essential requirement. Further details of the policy context for the Local Plan are provided in the next Section. How the Local Plan relates to the Liverpool Unitary Development Plan 1.6 Liverpool's current planning policy is set out in "A Plan for Liverpool", the City's Unitary Development Plan (UDP), adopted in November 2002. Once adopted, the Local Plan will replace the UDP. It will address all relevant issues to provide the up-to-date, strategic planning policy framework for Liverpool. Until then the UDP policies that have been saved or not been superseded will remain in operation. The following policies from the UDP have already been replaced by the Joint Liverpool City Region Waste Local Plan: EP3 – Landfill Gas EP4 – Landfill EP5 – Waste Related Uses EP6 – Waste Reception Centres EP7 – Recycling EP8 – Fly Tipping EP9 – Waste Storage The Structure of this Document 1.7 This informal draft Local Plan is structured as follows: Chapter Content Chapter 1: How the Local Plan This includes history of the Local Plan to date, the evidence has been prepared base, appraisals, duty to cooperate and consultation arrangements Chapter 2:The Policy Context National, Local and Sub-Regional Policy context Chapter 3: Spatial Portrait of A profile of Liverpool and the issues and challenges the City Liverpool Faces 2 The Draft Liverpool Local Plan September 2016 Chapter Content Chapter 4: The Vision and The City wide vision and strategic priorities for housing, Strategic Priorities for the Local employment, shops and services, green infrastructure, design, Plan historic environment, accessibility and resources.

Chapter 14: Transport and Sets out the preferred policies for transport in the City including Accessibility public transport, walking, cycling and car parking provision. Appendices Glossary Table 1 The Draft Liverpool Local Plan September 2016 3 1 How is the Local Plan Prepared 1.8 In response to changes in Government guidance and policy, in February 2013 the City Council determined that work on the strategic development planning document that it had previously been progressing - Local Development Framework: Core Strategy - should not be submitted to Government. Instead, the City Council resolved to prepare a Local Plan for Liverpool. 1.9 The Local Plan will be a single document which sets out both strategic objectives for the development of the City over the next 15-20 years, and more detailed guidance to manage the type, location and scale of this development, including allocation of specific sites.The previous work involved in preparing and consulting upon the Core Strategy will be retained and updated to become the central strategy of the Local Plan. 1.10 The Local Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. This consultation document supplements the City Council's previous statutory consultation under Regulation 18 - which notified key stakeholders, and all interested parties, of the Council’s intention to prepare a Local Plan, and encouraged representations on what it should contain.

  • A Vision for North Shore
    View from Lee - north to south Published September 2020 3 North Shore Vision I am pleased to introduce this North Shore Vision for the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site. Foreword Liverpool is a city that is undergoing a multi-billion pound renaissance and we are constantly seeking the right balance where regeneration and conservation can complement each other. We are proud of our unique heritage and have a desire to ensure that the city continues to thrive, with its historic legacy safeguarded and enhanced. On 17 July 2019, Liverpool City Council declared a Climate Change Emergency and I led a debate on the impending global ecological disaster, calling on all political parties to come together to rise to the challenge of making Liverpool a net zero carbon city by 2030. The way we do things in the future will need to change to a more sustainable model. To achieve this, the city has embraced the principles of the United Nations Development and this document sets out our ambitions for future growth and development for the North Shore area of the city firmly within this context. We have already begun work with partners to deliver that ambition. Existing and highly successful examples include the iconic Titanic Hotel redevelopment, restoration of the Tobacco Warehouse and the proposed refurbishment of the listed Engine House at Bramley Moore Dock which reinvigorate dilapidated heritage assets on the North Docks, providing access and interpretation to a new generation of people in the City. Liverpool has a well-earned reputation for being a city of firsts.

It has not been previously submitted, in part or completely, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed: ______________________________________________________________ Date: _________________________________________________________________ iii Word Template by Friedman & Morgan 2014 Morgan & Friedman by Word Template iv Word Template by Friedman & Morgan 2014 Morgan & Friedman by Word Template ABSTRACT As new digital technology fundamentally changes the way people shop, retail firms are increasingly seeking to optimise their store portfolios so that they effectively support the provision of an omni-channel retail offer, which is leading to the decline of many traditional retail spaces. This thesis seeks to explore this issue, by considering why, in the face of such profound structural changes in retailing, the prevailing response of planners has been to reemphasise support for „town-centre-first‟, despite the fact that such an approach appears fundamentally misaligned with the issues that are driving decline today. Utilising a mixed methods approach, involving a detailed historical analysis of the evolution of retail planning in England and in-depth interviews with planners, this thesis seeks to understand why it is that town-centre-first continues to pervade as a strategic approach in retail planning.

Recent Dock Extensions at Liverpool, with a General Description of the MerseyDock Estate,the Port of Liverpool,and the RiverMersey.” By GEORGEFOSBERY LYSTER, M. Inst. C.E. THEspecial characteristics of theRiver Mersey, theimportant positionwhich Liverpool occupies among theleading trading centres of the world, and the rapid development of its commerce are, each and all, so interesting to engineers, that in submitting a Paper descriptive of the most recent dock extensions carried out in the port, the Author has been induced to touch upon each of these points, as a fitting preamble to the more formal and precise description of the special works which form the leading features of the Paper. Few, if any, localities, inthis country at all events, are so favourably situatedfor the construction of a comprehensive system of docks as that of Liverpool, not onlyby reason of its geographical position on the seaboard of the country, with its unrivalled water frontage, but also on account of its proximity to the great manu- faeturing districts, as well as to the coal and mineral fields of the North of England and Wales, with which it is linked by railways and canals, which aresuch important factors in thedevelopment and maintenance of successful trading.

  • Liverpoo'l World Heritage Waterfront
    Albert Dock – Albert Dock and its warehouses were opened in 1846 by Prince Albert. They were designed by Jesse Hartley, the dock engineer with assistance from the architect Philip Hardwick. The dock was one of the earliest enclosed docks in the world and it is believed to form the largest group of Grade 1 Listed Buildings in England. The use and condition of the dock and warehouses declined during the 20th century, but they were comprehensively restored and converted to a mix of uses in the 1980s. They are now the most popular non- paying visitor attraction in the North West. IHBC Summer School Saturday 16th June 2007 Stanley Dock – Stanley Dock was opened in 1848 and between 1852-55 it was equipped with import warehouses of fire-proof construction similar to those at Albert Dock, all to the de- Tour signs of Jesse Hartley, the dock engineer. In 1901, the dock was partly infilled and Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse was constructed, using over 27 million bricks. It is believed to be the largest brick building in the world. The whole complex is disused, apart from the ground Liverpool’s World Heritage Waterfront floor of two of the warehouses, where a market is held every Sunday.

  • Race and Radicalisation EJ Peatfield University of Liverpool
    Race and Radicalisation E J Peatfield University of Liverpool Race and Radicalisation: Examining Perceptions Of Counter-Radicalisation Policy Amongst Minority Groups in Liverpool 8 and 24. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Elizabeth-Jane Peatfield February 2017 1 | Page Race and Radicalisation E J Peatfield University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis critically analyses the UK Government’s current counter-radicalisation policy, focusing in particular on groups presented as vulnerable or susceptible to the drivers of radicalisation outlined within the counter-radicalisation policy Prevent (2011). Although there have been a number of studies looking at the effect of counter-radicalisation policy on Muslim communities in Britain, this study is unique in its kind, as it examines the impact of counter-radicalisation policy on non- Muslim minorities. This work draws attention to the linking of terrorism to socio- economically marginalised groups and the concomitant gaze of surveillance or suspicion directed towards those considered risky. Based on the evidence gathered, it is argued that the negative framing of communities based on race and class has linked them to the risk of radicalisation through the construction of counter- radicalisation drivers and vulnerabilities. To explore the intersectionality of race and class with assumptions embedded in counter-radicalisation policy, the research employed both quantitative and qualitative methodology to examinee minority communities in two areas of Liverpool. The research sought to gauge how much non-Muslim minorities knew about Prevent (2011) and the drivers identified in the document, alongside whether they believed they had been affected by counter-radicalisation/terrorism policy.

  • Whs-Spd-Lowres
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document Adopted October 2009 Foreword Foreword by Peter Millea, Executive Member for Regeneration and John Kelly, Executive Director Regeneration This Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for the World Heritage Site (WHS) is issued following extensive public consultation by Liverpool City Council. The City Council and partners have noted the representations made by many that the WHS should contribute to the regeneration, visitor economy and local sense of civic pride in Liverpool, over coming months and years. The City Council will therefore commit more resources to promotion and interpretation of the WHS to ensure that its unique cultural heritage is fully utilised, as well as being properly conserved. The purpose of the SPD is to provide a planning framework for development which will enhance the city’s heritage and boost investment, tourism and regeneration. Above all, it is intended as a policy document which will encourage economic regeneration with an emphasis on quality. It is part of an emerging statutory development framework for the city which will outline more specific guidance on land allocations to prioritise target areas for economic growth for the whole city, including the World Heritage Site and areas bordering on it. The SPD includes important principles about World Heritage Site management in the longer term, with the emphasis on preserving and enhancing Liverpool’s outstanding universal value and the quality of its public realm. However, it is being issued at a time when the global and UK economy is contracting and a main priority for the City Council is the city’s continuing economic regeneration.
