A final decision is to be made on a hotly debated expansion at a venue located on a popular South Liverpool street.
In July, members of Liverpool Council’s planning committee were split by proposals put forward by the owners of Love and Rockets on Lark Lane. The business wanted to install a metal pergola at the side of the building, as a replacement for an existing timber frame, to act as an external eating and drinking area operating until 10pm daily.
An intense debate broke out over the impact of such a development on the busy street. As a result, changes to the site were left in limbo after councillors could not come to an agreement as to whether to allow the new structure to go ahead.
