Plans for 236 studios in Baltic Triangle rejected again on appeal

Planning inspectors have backed a decision to reject proposals for more than 200 apartments in the Baltic Triangle.

An application to build a co-living accommodation block on the site of the former Bogans Carpets unit was knocked back by members of Liverpool Council ’s planning committee in January. Following an appeal by applicant Crossland Ltd, the planning inspectorate has backed up the local authority’s decision.

Under the plans put forward, Crossland Ltd sought to provide 236 single occupancy co-living studios with associated communal space. Co-living is a concept that originated in America with schemes granted planning permission in other UK cities, including London, Manchester and Bristol.
