ENCOMPASSING around 15m square feet, or 500 acres, Wirral Waters is the largest planning application of its type in the country.
The outline application is to demolish existing buildings and facilitate the “creation of a new city neighbourhood at East Float”.
This will include a series of new urban quarters known as Northbank West, Marina View and Four Bridges, Vittoria Studios and SkyCity and The Point.
Ultimately, Peel is aiming to build up to 13,521 new homes, up to 422,757 square metres of office and research and development floorspace and 60,000 square metres for retail uses.
The application also includes hotel and conference facilities and up to 100,000 square metres of culture, education, leisure, community floorspace together with car and cycle parking, landscaping and public spaces.
