Former church set to make way for student accommodation

A church and probation centre are set to be demolished to make way for apartments and student accommodation.

Proposals have been lodged for two six storey buildings on land occupied by a church and Liverpool Community Probation Centre on Falkner Street, L8. More than 105 apartments and 182 student bedrooms would be installed if the plans are signed off by Liverpool Council ’s planning committee on Tuesday.

A report submitted as part of the application detailed how planning approval had previously been secured at the site in December 2019 subject to a section 106 agreement being entered into. The legal agreement was not completed and as a result of the time elapsed since the original application was lodged, it must now go before the committee for a second time.
