A new neighbourhood of social and affordable housing will be built on the edge of Liverpool City Centre.
Social housing firm Regenda has been given the green light to develop a major new development called Grove Place close to the city's Georgian Quarter and university area. Regenda submitted plans to Liverpool City Council to create a 'new green, diverse and multi-generational neighbourhood' on the site of the Grove Street Estate in Toxteth, close to the Liverpool Women's Hospital. The Grove Street Estate is a purpose built estate of mainly socially rented properties, owned by Liverpool Council, but leased to The Regenda Group.
Under its new plans, Regenda intends to demolish the existing homes on the estate and build six new buildings, ranging from three to nine storeys in height, that will contain 304 new residential units. There are also plans for 368sqm of 'flexible commercial space' as well as parking and landscaping. The development would be known as Grove Place.
