Plans for hundreds of apartments on former children's hospital land will not go ahead as part of a major revamp.
Almost two years ago, Liverpool Council signed off on proposals for Manchester-based property developers Step Places and McCarthy Stone to build four blocks up to five storeys high on part of the former Alder Hey Hospital site on Alder Road. The project, which has attracted strong opposition to this day, would have allowed for the construction of 160 apartments, an office block, retirement accommodation, 13 care apartments and 40 homes.
New documents have confirmed Step Places is now seeking to amend the plans, reducing the number of homes and assisted living facilities but increasing the amount of retirement apartments.
