ABOUT THE PLAN:
Liverpool City Council and a consultant team comprising BDP, West 8, WSP and Eskogen have, over the last year, developed an ambitious plan to guide public and private investment and future development over a 10km stretch along the Mersey waterfront. The area of study stretches from Bramley Moore Dock (Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium) in north Liverpool all the way to Grassendale and Cressington in the south and reaches out to link with hinterland communities. The Plan has been informed by meaningful engagement with Liverpool’s communities, residents, interested groups, businesses, stakeholders and major landowners.
The Plan comprises two parts:
- A draft Vision which sets out bold proposals for the future of Liverpool’s waterfront over the next 20–30 years, placing local communities at its heart to seek to create a more inclusive, accessible and thriving waterfront.
- A draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) which sets policy to translate the Vision into planning guidance, design principles and development parameters covering such matters as movement, active travel, green, blue and grey infrastructure, identity and character of different areas along Liverpool’s waterfront. Once adopted, the SPD will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications and will guide public and private investment.
If you aren’t able to make it, the Plan documents can also be downloaded at: www.liverpool.gov.uk/consultation. We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback to help shape the final Plan.
A copy of all consultation documents will be available to view during normal working hours at the following locations:
- Cunard Building, Brunswick Street, Liverpool, L3 1AH
- Liverpool Central Library, William Brown Street, Liverpool, L3 8EW
Feedback can be provided by email at : planning.engagement@liverpool.gov.uk. Please include ‘Waterfront Plan’ as the subject heading.

NEXT STEPS:
After the consultation period closes, the final Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) will be prepared and reported to Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet by Autumn 2025. If approved, the SPD will be adopted as part of the Council’s planning framework, supporting the Liverpool Local Plan and informing the consideration of planning applications within the waterfront area.
If you have any further questions about the event or the consultation, please either respond directly to this email or message: planning.engagement@liverpool.gov.uk and include ‘Waterfront Plan – Consultation’ as the subject heading.
We look forward to hearing your feedback and thank you for your continued interest in shaping the Waterfront Plan.
Best wishes
