Measures have been taken to block new flats from being built on the banks of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal from becoming Airbnb-style short term lets.
Proposals submitted to Liverpool Council to construct 70 new flats on land between Commercial Road and Tobacco Wharf in Kirkdale were signed off by the city’s planning committee this morning.
But with concerns from residents about the potential impact the development could have on the 'tight knit' Kirkdale community, the council placed a ban on any of the flats being used for short-term holiday use.
