Movement on a major Liverpool housing development is anticipated next month, with the expectation that its overall size could be reduced.
The Festival Gardens development, which initially proposed in the region of 1,500 new homes on derelict land between Dingle and Otterspool, was shelved last year with Liverpool City Council confirming that it was going back to the drawing board. The project was one of the largest of its kind in the north and would have incorporated sustainable initiatives within the new homes.
The authority had previously entered into an exclusivity agreement with development firm Ion, which had produced a draft residential masterplan for the site. However, this agreement expired in March 2021 with the council announcing that it was to carry out an almost year-long review of the site.
