The Local Plan was adopted at the City Council’s Full Council meeting on Wednesday 26th January 2022
All local planning authorities must prepare a local plan to guide the long-term, strategic spatial development of their area.
The Liverpool Local Plan is made up of:
- a document that includes policies that set out the key considerations for making decisions on development proposals in the city.
- city-wide and city centre maps that show how the land is used in keeping with these policies – for example housing sites, open spaces and shopping areas.
The scope of the plan
The Local Plan provides a long-term spatial vision, strategic priorities and policies for future development in the city over the next 15 to 20 years, specifically with regard to the quantity and location of new homes, employment provision, shops, facilities and other services, transport and other infrastructure provision, climate change mitigation and adaption and the conservation and enhancement of the natural and historic environment.
To achieve this it sets out the following:
- development management policies that guide the delivery of development in the city and will be used to determine planning applications. These policies provide detailed advice to developers and others on the scale, design, accessibility, sustainability etc of proposals.
- site allocations for residential, employment, retail and other land uses across the city, shown on the policies map.
- designations where specific policies apply, such as for district and local centres or open spaces which are also shown on the policies map.
