Development on The Strand in Liverpool city centre applies for planning

Plans for a major residential development overlooking Liverpool's historic waterfront have been submitted for planning approval by joint venture partners Patten Properties and Panacea Property Development.

The Joint Venture unveiled the plans for a 16-storey development including three additional storeys stepping back from the main elevation, with new commercial space and a residents' roof garden at the junction of Strand Street and Red Cross Street.

The proposals include the demolition of a four storey office building, Strand House, and the creation of a new development of 395 residential units with private roof terraces at the upper levels and ground floor space for restaurants, bars or cafés.

Neil Patten, managing director of both companies, said: "It is vital that our design is sensitive to the heritage of Liverpool's historic waterfront and is more suitable in terms of scale and appearance than the existing, and somewhat dated, office block currently on the site.

"This is a key transition point between historic buildings and more modern developments within the Albert Dock, Liverpool One and the City centre, so we've looked to tie these areas together.

"We received fantastic feedback from our recent public consultation and we're hopeful that the planning committee will look favourably on the sensitively designed plans."

The scheme also includes a semi-public landscaped area to improve the public realm on Strand Street.
