-prior to negotiations I wanted to understand the chances of gaining planning
-Outline consent in site for 100 hectare residential scheme with employment use and a mixed use local centre which would be suitable for Lidl
For the planning appraisal at Maghull, can you expand further why you believe planning can be achieved
-Large Strategic Mixed Use allocation for the development of 1,400 homes and a employment uses (20ha) under Sefton Local Plan Policy MN2.
-Maghull Neighbourhood Plan was ‘made’ in January 2019. Policy MAG6 supports the delivery of the allocated uses in accordance with the Masterplan.
-An indicative masterplan has been approved, which identifies the appraisal site as the location for the new local shopping provision. The masterplan document suggests that the local centre is suitable to accommodate a foodstore of up to 1,500sqm gross alongside a 500sqm parade of local shops and other suitable uses such as a public house. Images in the masterplan document identify an Aldi and a Co-op store.
-Outline planning permission DC/2017/01528, which was approved in October 2021, grants outline consent for a ‘mixed-use local centre’ on land including the appraisal site, as part of a wider residential-led scheme on part of the allocated site. The conditions attached to the consent do not impose any restrictions upon the quantum of retail floorspace or the use of any retail floorspace.
