The Proposal

We intend to submit a planning application and seek  your views  on our current draft proposals.  This new application is a resubmission to make improvements  of an existing planning approval LCC application ref: 20F/1125 for the redevelopment of the site with mixed uses  including apart-hotel and apartments. 

The re-development of the ‘Parr Street Studios’ will now comprise no.76 apart-hotel rooms  with secured cycle spaces, laundry room, reception area and refuse stores  for the residents. Ground / First floor retail units and event space on eighth floor. 

The main entrances  to both the residential and retail units  are from Parr Street. Each has  their own front doors  which are designed with full height windows  to create a sleek  modern street scene. High quality lighting is proposed to enhance the environment  and  the  provision  of  a  safe attractive street. 

A sense of place is  created by  using an external material palette that is  similar to the immediate locality. Therefore 3 different tones  of brick  are proposed. They compliment each other to provide a dynamic  street scene. Window proportions are also a reference to the local vernacular and provide large openings  for sufficient natural lighting.

The development site is within close proximity  to public  transport facilities. L1 bus  station is  a 10 minute walk  away  and the nearest train station is Liverpool Central (5 minute walk) and Liverpool Lime street (10 minute walk). Additionally, good pedestrian facilities surrounding the Ropewalks further emphasises this.
