A new policy designed to regulate what tall buildings are built in the city will be signed off next week
A report to the city’s cabinet next week is recommending the adoption of a Tall Buildings Supplementary Planning Document which will be used to shape development across the city in a proactive and positive manner. The guidance will ensure that all tall building proposals make a positive contribution to Liverpool’s skyline, distinctiveness and image, the city’s growth and the delivery of high quality and sustainable places.

The Tall Buildings SPD has also mapped current developments and sets out guidelines for appropriate heights for new planning applications in these clusters. It also provides guidance based on nine principles covering issues such as quality, sustainability, environment and economic growth. “This is a very timely document as it will help guide and shape our new waterfront strategy and set a clear path as to how developments can provide growth for the future, without impacting on climate change and net-zero ambitions. Maintaining that balance between environment and regeneration runs throughout the heart of this policy and it has set out clear principles around design, quality and sustainability and what the city expects from developers to meet those standards.
