A seven storey mixed use development, new flats on the site of a scooter centre and the reintroduction of a petrol filling station are among a number of properties that are to be considered for approval across Liverpool.
Next week, Liverpool Council ’s planning committee will hear a series of applications for developments across the city. Included in these are a proposal to rework land bounded by Jamaica Street, Greenland Street and New Bird Street to build a single block up to seven storeys high.
The existing building on site would be knocked down to make way for a car park of more than 200 spaces, 2,000sqm of creative office space and installation of a bar and/or hot food takeaway. The site is currently occupied by Childwall Table and Chair Hire within a relatively modern 1-1.5 storey industrial building with pitched roof, constructed in brick and steel cladding.

A small retail unit trading as the Jamaica Street Snack Shop is located within part of the building’s single storey element on the corner of Greenland Street and Jamaica Street. A vacant older single storey brick building is located outside the application site, adjacent to and fronting onto Flint Street, separated by a high brick boundary wall.
An application has also been lodged in Kirkdale to bring a former petrol filling station back into use, more than 20 years after it became a hand car wash. In April 2000, the site on Brewster Street was redeveloped to provide a car valeting and hand wash facility.
The proposal is for the reinstatement and redevelopment to an unattended 24 hour self-service petrol station. It would comprise the installation of three underground fuel tanks, two pump dispensers, with four filling positions.
A jet car wash facility would be sited along the eastern boundary of the site. Deliveries would occur approximately three times a week and would only be permitted between the hours of 7am and 11pm.
Developments have also been put forward to demolish existing garage workshops on Longmoor Lane, Fazakerley, to make way for dozens of new homes. The Fazakerley Car and Scooter Centre will be removed, should councillors agree, for the building of 13 one bed flats, 13 two bed flats and five three-bed townhouses.
The flats would be arranged within a V shaped block facing onto Longmoor Lane at the front and the railway cutting to the rear and would be three storeys in height with undercroft car parking. The five townhouses would be located to the side of the rear section of the apartment block to the west of the site in a three-storey terraced block.
A number of objections were received in relation to parking issues around the site, which comes as a residents’ parking scheme is being introduced in Fazakerley. In addition, given its proximity to Fazakerley train station, concerns were raised about the structural integrity of the railway embankment.
All three projects have been recommended for approval by Liverpool Council’s planning committee when it meets next Tuesday.
