SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL & Economic Benefits
As well as delivering a stand-out residential development at the heart of Birkenhead’s waterfront, the proposals would generate a wide range of economic, social, and environmental benefits for the local area, including:
-
Apprenticeships, Jobs & Training Opportunities
The creation of apprenticeships, training opportunities, and jobs for local people during the construction phase and through the wider supply chain. These opportunities will be secured via a local labour agreement should planning permission be granted for the proposed development.
-
Local Economy
Construction workers and residents will generate expenditure in the local economy, including spending in the nearby shops and services in the town centre.
-
Housing
Important contribution towards meeting the identified need for housing in Wirral.
-
Environment
Provide high-quality open spaces that encourage social interaction, support people’s health and wellbeing, maximise opportunities to provide a net gain in biodiversity, and create a pleasant environment in which to live and visit.
-
Development
Create a standout residential-led development that will improve the appearance of this underutilised site and create a place where existing and future residents feel safe.
-
Connectivity
Improve connectivity by providing attractive pedestrian routes to the waterfront through to Woodside and beyond.
-
Services & Amenities
Provide services and amenities that support the needs of existing and future residents.
