Plans to extend Aintree University Hospital have been amended.
Last month, Liverpool Council ’s planning committee unanimously signed off on proposals for a three storey extension to the existing A&E and theatre departments worth millions of pounds. The scheme will now return before councillors after the applicant - Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - tweaked the site agreement.
When members signed off on the plans on 1st March, it was under the agreement that the applicant would enter into a Section 106 agreement for the payment of £8,000 in lieu of the provision of two street trees and £1,732.50 in lieu of funding the Council’s Public Art Strategy as well as contributions to cover the costs of monitoring the agreement and legal fees. The Trust has now confirmed that two trees will be planted within the site, meeting the policy requirements.
