Liverpool Council is looking for a major developer to take on one of the biggest projects in the north of England - which looks set to be delayed as the troubled local authority takes a new approach.
A report to the council’s cabinet next Friday, September 23 is recommending a full procurement process be undertaken to appoint a development partner for a 22-acre prime waterfront plot next to the city’s Festival Gardens. If approved the council anticipates it will launch the search in early 2023.
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 last year.
