Liverpool Council will be able “control future uses' of King's Dock” as it changes course on its management of the site.
That was the view of Cllr Sarah Doyle, as cabinet members endorsed a new way of delivering projects on land on the south docks that could 'change the waterfront' for good. The local authority executive has backed plans to move to a “managed design” approach, with a development manager and master planner working to the council.
Utilising the managed design option allows the council to retain ownership of the land and instruct planners and designers to take the project forward. Once planning permission has been secured, the local authority would release plots for selected partners.
