From the Planning Explorer -
Application Number - PL/INV/3542/13
Site Address - Vine Street Depot Land bordered by Chatham Street/Myrtle Street/Vine Street Liverpool Merseyside L7 7EW
Proposal - Application for planning permission for redevelopment of former depot site comprising demolition of all existing buildings and structures on the site and selective boundary walls in Vine Street and Myrtle Street, followed by erection of two blocks of residential accommodation to construct 114 apartments, site car parking, landscaping, amenity space and associated external works
Applicant - (blank)
From here - http://northgate.liverpool.gov.uk/P...tion Details&PUBLIC=Y&XMLSIDE=&DAURI=PLANNING

This is the site in question - http://binged.it/1dgfWSn (Obviously it is an older image, as the site is now over the road from the Vine Court Eco-residences).

Good to see the development of Myrtle Street continuing.

The trees being in full bloom makes getting a clear shot difficult, if not impossible, but here we are -

Looming over Myrtle Street -

I'll admit that while the scale and massing are right for the area, and the design is not particularly objectionable in any sort of way, this isn't one I can get too excited about -

Side elevation. As an aside, that blue car you can see in the bottom left. I have never seen someone shunt a car backwards and forwards so much, even though it wasn't a particularly tight spot, only to end up with the car parked askew to the kerb line, and half over-hanging the H-markings in front of a loading bay -

There was none in the original application. Then they submitted a change to include shops all along the bottom. I think the ground floor flats would have been hard to sell privacy issues.

I objected to this, with Myrtle parade and a couple of empty units on Vine court we didn't need more.
So they seem to have put in an undercroft, perhaps for parking. The lugs sticking out the front are from bolt on balconies. So the front isn't finished yet. Hopefully, they put some decent height greenery between the trees and the building.

I was told it had been withdrawn but the council site hasn't changed status but that not unusual. http://northgate.liverpool.gov.uk/P...ins/Liverpool_WIP/Menus/PL.xml&DAURI=PLANNING

The group behind it were the Eldonian Group, they seem to switch back to the Via Verde scheme and had another go at that, also the Eldonian group prides itself on its social credentials and knocking down the building would have been well looked upon. http://eldoniangroup.com/about/

It was me who put the application for listing in. It is in a conservation zone and the council did give it a good write up.

The report is here http://services.historicengland.org.uk/webfiles/GetFiles.aspx?av=F5ABFC95-0E32-4735-A324-2C9811BC7124&cn=ADB5359F-5E56-4F76-9055-45F1671D6D84
