I thought we could use a thread for this development -
Planning Application
Application Number - 15F/2736 Site Address - Toxteth Community College 68 Falkner Street Liverpool L8 7QA Proposal - To demolish unlisted building and erect 6 storey building comprising 109 residential units (C3 Use), with ground floor commercial unit being used for training / education purposes (D1 Use) with associated access, parking and landscaping. Applicant - Falkner Street Ltd
MEE Demolition (same company who are demolishing Wolstenholme) have put their signage up around the old Toxteth Community Centre on Bedford St South.
So possibly progress on this one soon hopefully
Nice. Not that there was any doubt about this one. Just another one of the Elliot scheme;s getting on site.
The area does need a shot of the modern into it, but more importantly, some active ground floor activity. As it is, apart from just wandering up, pointing and going "Ooh, look. Old. " there's little reason to venture into the Georgian Quarter past Hope Street. This scheme will drag more people to visit the area and be introduced to the rest of canning.
The Georgian Quarter is one of the city's primary tourist attractions.The area has its own RIBA tour. The 'oh look, old' factor is what gets people there and modern style flats are a distraction. What else would you like in the heart of Canning? A night club? Leave it to the cobbles, the architecture and the quaint cafes. It has its own identity.
I meant in terms of doing something other than gawk at it for 5 minutes and drive off. It's currently a bit like the Chinese Arch. People go see it, take a photo and leave.
I'm talking about beyond Hope St or the tiny overspill where the Quarter is. We need things like small shops or offices on the ground floor of various buildings throughout Canning.
Not much happening today. I suspect the delay is similar to those we had at Queensland Place and NHP2, as they wait for the concrete to cure sufficiently, before moving onto steel erection - https://flic.kr/p/ANJWbS
Say what you want about Elliot, while it is probably over-generous to say other developers procrastinate, he has a knack for getting these things going - https://flic.kr/p/PLzZ3C
