The purpose of this amendment is to update the relevant parts Liverpool DCP 2008, to align with the below finalised reforms.
Renaming of ‘Environmental’ Zones to ‘Conservation’ Zones
On 1 December 2021, the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) introduced changes to rename the ‘Environmental’ zones to ‘Conservation’ zones. This amendment did not impact land use tables, objectives or controls, it only changed the zone prefix and name.
As the Liverpool DCP 2008 references the former Environmental zones, a housekeeping review of the LDCP 2008 has been undertaken to reference the new zone names.
‘Employment’ Zones Reform
In April 2023, the DPHI replaced the existing ‘Business’ and ‘Industrial’ zones with ‘Employment’ zones.
A review of the Liverpool DCP 2008 has therefore been undertaken to remove references to the former Business and Industrial zones and reference the new Employment zone names.
In addition to this, the Employment Zones Reform introduced Key Site Areas for certain employment zoned land. The Liverpool DCP 2008 has been updated with the ‘Area Map’ reference where applicable.
Other Amendments
The Liverpool Local Strategic Planning Statement, ‘Connected Liverpool 2040’, includes a short-term action to review the Liverpool DCP 2008, to encourage new commercial and industrial buildings to be rooftop solar ready. To address this, a new control for rooftop solar panels is drafted within Part 4 (Development in Liverpool CBD), Part 6 (Development in Business areas) and Part 7 (Development of Industrial Areas) of the Liverpool DCP 2008.
A minor typographical amendment has also been made within Part 7 (Development in Industrial Areas) of the Liverpool DCP 2008, to help clarify the landscaped area requirements for industrial development.
