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 ensuring high-quality development is delivered 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). Already this year a number of high profile developments have been the subject of rejections and amendments as a result of the Local Plan.
