The Central Docks Masterplan

[Waterways]

Look in the original post, it said the

plans would be unveiled to the public within weeks, how many weeks?!

They wanted the West Waterloo Dock filled in. They lost

that. So, they nmay have to amend their plans.

It's been a while now, I really can't wait to see what they come up with, and if this

and wirral waters materialise over the next 30 years it will put Liverpool in the top if not at the top of Europe.

It will be poor no

matter what. Trafalgar Dock has to eb excavated to have any impact on any developement on that site. I fear the fools in the council will give Peel their

way, as usual, and allow them to build a shed warehouse bowling alley on it.

Another opportunity lost.

What? Peel have already stated there will be world class 50+ storey towers on this site, no bowling

alley shed.

50 floors? Better they look at the World Heritage Agreement.

Peel Holdings have said they will announce on the Wirral in the New Year the plans for Central Dock

in a big splash on the Cnetral Docks and Wirral Waters

[Paul D]

It is understood Peel has approached Kitgrove, the subsidiary of Richcliff which owns Stanley Dock, the problematic 12-acre site in the heart of the area. Stanley Dock contains the 1m sq ft Tobacco Warehouse, and two smaller warehouses to the north and south.

The interior darkness and low ceilings make conversion of the Tobacco Ware-house impossible without vast public subsidy. Peel and Kitgrove declined to comment.

Peel will deliver a visionary development plan to councillors for Central Docks within two months, mirroring its exciting £4.5bn scheme for Wirral Waters on the opposite bank of the Mersey.

And their proposals are expected to galvanise Stanley Dock owner, Epsom-based Kitgrove, which is working on revised proposals for the northern Tobacco Warehouse that already has planning permission for hundreds of new flats.

Hopefully not for long though,we need this to kickstart the regeneration of the whole dock road area.

How big is this place? it's hard to tell sometimes when you've only ever been on the other side of the wall.

I agree. I've sat next to the Victoria Tower with my flask of coffee many a time. Spent hours there on occasions. My favourite part of Liverpool. The West Bramley Moore Dock warehouse is becoming dangerous to walk through nowadays. A piece of metal from the roof fell on to the floor when I was in there. Scared the bejeezes out of me.
