A Liverpool nightclub has secured its future for the time being after planning permission for a proposed residential redevelopment nearby was refused.
Meraki, located on Dickinson Street in the North Docks, launched a campaign last year against the proposals to redevelop the Bonded Tea Warehouse. These plans were put forward by ELG Planning on behalf of County Durham-based property firm Mandale Homes. There were fears the venue could come under threat from new residents on Great Howard Street making noise complaints.
In a statement, the team argued that acoustic surveys had been carried out while the venue was closed, meaning “an accurate, real-world reflection of the noise within the vicinity of the proposed development” had not been provided. However, yesterday Meraki announced on its Instagram page that the plans for flats had been blocked by Liverpool City Council.
