1.2 Parameter Plan 001 – Liverpool Waters Site Location Plan

1.2.1 This parameter plan identifies the extent of the Liverpool Waters outline planning application site

boundary outlined in red. The site extends to some sixty hectares and is located immediately north

of Liverpool’s Pier Head. It is over two kilometres in length from Princes Dock in the south to

Bramley Moore Dock in the north. The site is relatively narrow - about 450m across in the north and

200m in the south.

1.2.2 The site is bounded by the River Mersey to the west. To the east, the docks boundary wall lies

within the site and defines it edge strongly except in two places. First, in the vicinity of Waterloo

Warehouse, the eastern boundary of West Waterloo Dock and Prince’s Half Tide Dock defines the

site. Second, in the south-east of the site King Edward Industrial Estate is included in the

application site but located east of the docks boundary wall. The northern site boundary is not

marked clearly on the ground at present but runs at the mid-point between Bramley Moore Dock

(within the site) and Wellington Dock (to the north of the site). In the south, St Nicholas Place runs

immediately beyond the site.

1.2.3 Virtually the entire Liverpool Waters site comprises reclaimed land which was created to form docks

commencing in the late 18th Century. Over a third of the Liverpool Waters site consists of docks

with open water. These are (from north to south):

• Bramley Moore Dock;

• Nelson Dock;

• Salisbury Dock; with Collingwood Dock to its east.

• Trafalgar Dock (remnants) with Clarence Graving Docks to its east;

• West Waterloo Dock (remnants);

• Prince’s Half Tide Dock;

• Princes Dock

1.2.4 The southern part of site in the area around Princes Dock has benefited from significant investment

in commercial offices, hotels and residential development since the 1990s. However, substantial

development plots remain and hence it has been included within Parameter Plan 001. King Edward

industrial estate in the south-east corner of the site comprises relatively modern warehouse-type

business units. This has been included within Parameter Plan 001 as the locality is one of

Liverpool Waters


substantial land use change where redevelopment is anticipated during the thirty year timeframe of

the Liverpool Waters proposal as it has the potential to form a natural extension of the commercial

core of Liverpool City Centre down to its waterfront.

1.3 Parameter Plan 002 – Liverpool Waters Neighbourhood Plan

1.3.1 The Liverpool Waters site has been divided into five neighbourhoods, within which building, public

realm and supporting infrastructure will be constructed. The neighbourhoods are defined by historic

uses of the site and draw on the historic dock layouts for reference. There are also identified by the

key structural components that define the site as set out in Parameter Plan 001, in terms of the

River Mersey Wall, the Dock Boundary Wall and ownership.

1.3.2 The total development floorspace stated in Table 2.1 of this SKDP has been divided between the five

neighbourhoods in accordance with the figures contained in Table 2.2 ‘Liverpool Waters: Overall

Land Use and Amount (Parameters)’ as shown in this SKDP. It should be noted that some degree of

overlap is to be provided across the defined edges of each of the five neighbourhoods in order to

enable a degree of flexibility between the distribution of compatible uses and phasing. The total

floorspace for each use within each neighbourhood would not, however, be exceeded.

1.3.3 For the purposes of this application the five neighbourhoods comprise:

• Neighbourhood A – Princes Dock

• Neighbourhood B – King Edward Triangle

• Neighbourhood C – Central Docks

• Neighbourhood D – Clarence Docks

• Neighbourhood E – Northern Docks.

1.4 Parameter Plan 003 – Liverpool Waters Phasing Plan

1.4.1 The Liverpool Waters proposal will be delivered in general accordance with Parameter Plan 004 –

Phasing Plan. As indicated, the Liverpool Waters proposal will be developed from the city centre

northwards towards the Northern Docks over a three decade period. The purpose of the Phasing

Plan is to ensure orderly and satisfactory development of the Liverpool Waters site, in the interests

of delivering a balanced sustainable development that is supported by the necessary infrastructure

and facilities to ensure the development remains connected to existing business and residential

communities.

1.4.2 Given the length of time it will take to deliver the Liverpool Waters proposal in its entirety, a degree

of flexibility will need to be retained to ensure that the proposal can respond to inevitable market

and demand changes. It is envisaged that subject to obtaining the prior written approval of LCC,

amendments to the phasing of the Liverpool Waters may take place to reflect changes to the

phasing of the proposal that are not feasible at the date of planning permission.

1.4.3 The following written principles provide an indication of the phasing of the Liverpool Waters in

accordance with Peel’s understanding of how the Liverpool Waters proposal will be delivered over a

three decade period. As outlined above, the final delivery of the development may alter from the

phasing indicated by ‘Parameter Plan 004 – Liverpool Waters Phasing Plan’ .

1.5 Parameter Plan 004 – Development Parcels

1.5.1 As outlined under ‘Parameter Plan 002 – Neighbourhood Plan’ The Liverpool Waters proposal is

divided in five neighbourhoods. These neighbourhoods are further broken down into thirty

development parcels within which building plots, public realm and infrastructure to support the

Liverpool Waters proposal will be accommodated. The development parcels are defined by the key

structural components of the Liverpool Waters proposal in the form of existing structures that define

the site including for instance the water bodies, the Dock Boundary Wall, the River Mersey Wall and

the Leeds to Liverpool Canal.

1.5.2 The total development floorspace stated in Table 2.1 has been divided between the development

parcels in accordance with the Development Parcels Floorspace Schedule contained in accompanying

‘Liverpool Waters Environmental Statement’ (November 2011). It should be noted that some

degree of overlap is provided across the development parcels in terms of the provision of public

realm and infrastructure in order to ensure a coordinated approach to the delivery of these elements

of the Liverpool Waters proposal.

1.5.3 The following written key development principles seek to provide clarification as to how the

information provided on Parameter Plan 004 should be interpreted, together with additional

principles against which future application for approval of reserved matters and other approvals

under the planning permission will be required to demonstrate conformity, unless otherwise agreed

in writing with LCC.

1.6.1 Parameter Plan 005 identifies broad areas within the site within which proposed buildings will be

located. The development plots in themselves can contain a number of potential buildings.

1.7 Parameter Plan 006 – Building Heights

1.7.1 Parameter Plan 006 shows the maximum heights of the proposed buildings within the areas of built

development. All heights are shown as above ordnance datum (AOD). The maximum building

height is measured to the top of a parapet for flat roofs and the top of the ridge for pitched roofs,

therefore any roof plant will not exceed the maximum roof height identified on Parameter Plan 006.

1.7.2 The following written key development principles provide maximum building heights on a

development plot basis. Reference is given to development parcels and development plots from

Parameter Plans 004 and 005 for reference.

1.8 Parameter Plan 007 – Access and Movement Plan

1.8.1 Parameter Plan 007 identifies the proposed access points to the Liverpool Waters proposal,

differentiating between vehicle and pedestrian access/egress points as appropriate. Plan 007 also

provides indicative pedestrian and cycle routes within the site. The Plan also indentifies indicative

water body crossing points, focussed primarily on historic crossing points between the various docks

and thereby utilising existing infrastructure where it remains.

1.8.2 In addition to identifying the key access points and routes Parameter Plan 007 also identifies

strategic areas of open space indicating the role and purpose of that space.
