The Museum of Liverpool is looking to expand its outdoor eating offering according to new planning documents.
In a bid to create a “destination space” at the landmark building on the city’s waterfront, the museum has submitted an application to Liverpool Council’s planning committee for a properly developed outdoor seating area. Currently the space outside the museum is being used with “purely utilitarian” loose tables and chairs according to a design and access statement accompanying the application.
The museum, which was the largest newly-built national museum in the UK for more than 100 years when it opened in July 2011 and set within the Mann Island site at the Pier Head, said the current provision is an “unconsidered approach” that “fails to create a destination space that people want to go to enjoy the waterfront/public space.”
