Liverpool council says it is still open for business and talking to developers - after a leading city property expert warned the new Local Plan could slow down the pace of development.
The plan, which was signed off earlier this year, aims to shape Liverpool's future for decades by, among other things, ensuring high-quality development across the city. It also aims to focus development on brownfield sites while helping to create jobs.
The plan sets out how 35,000 new homes will be needed by the city's growing population - but also aims to increase the supply of affordable homes while curbing excessive numbers of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).
