Project Overview

Liverpool City Council is seeking community feedback on a draft amendment to the Liverpool Development Control Plan 2008 – Part 3.7 (Residential Flat Buildings in the R4 zone) and Part 4 (Development in Liverpool City Centre).

The purpose of this amendment is to update the objectives and controls in the Liverpool Development Control Plan 2008 to facilitate larger, family-friendly apartments in Liverpool City Centre and surrounding high-density areas.
