I've given this its own thread, rather than placing it in the Baltic Triangle thread, as it seems like, if it comes to pass, it'll be quite a large development.

Anyway, an application has gone in for the re-development of the current YHA youth hostel site, bounded by Hurst Street, Tabley Street, Sparking Street, and Wapping. For those uncertain of the site in question, it's the silver-roofed building in the centre of this image - http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=53.3978840988423~-2.9858275131977337&lvl=19&sty=h

The application reads -

Full application for the redevelopment of land at Hurst Street/ Sparling Street/ Tabley Street/Wapping to provide a mixed use development comprising 180 No. bedroom hotel, 100 No. apartments, 220 bed YHA building, and retail space (585 sq m), plus associated access and parking arrangements, landscaping and amenity space, together with outline application for 95 No. bedroom care home.

Although there is a fair amount of open space around the existing youth hostel, clearly to fit all of the above on that site is going to require a building several storeys taller than the existing three storey youth hostel. Together with the new Hampton by Hilton on the site diagonally opposite, this should make a valuable contribution to the regeneration of the Baltic Triangle.

It's a bit of a pig and looks like something you'd see in Magaluf.

That said. Who cares? Build the damn thing. Nothing attractive is getting built in the Baltic really. It's all brick. Apart from later phases of Baltic House/Norfolk St phase 3. So the more the merrier.

It's big. It holds stuff.

That's enough.

Yu nears £15m Baltic Triangle approval

Yu Property is poised to secure the green light to redevelop a site in Liverpool's Baltic Triangle into more than 200 apartments as part of a £15m scheme.

The company, through its construction arm YPG Developments, has applied to demolish the existing industrial buildings on the land, which is located on the corner of Tabley Street, and construct a ten-, 11- and 12-storey building with 204 units.

In addition the Kings Dock Mill project will offer 70 parking spaces accessed from Sparling Street and 100 cycle spaces.

Despite a letter of objection from nearby residents concerned about the impact of the development on natural light – as well as fears about its impact on the skyline – planners at Liverpool City Council have recommended approval be granted at a meeting next Tuesday (22 November 2016).

A report to be scrutinised by councillors said that while the site is suitable for industrial uses, it is "recognised that allowing alternative forms of appropriate development onto selective sites within the Baltic Triangle can provide an attractive mixed-use area".

The report added that the council's interim head of planning is satisfied that the plans won't harm Liverpool's World Heritage Site status.
