Leading and award-winning build-to-rent provider <\/span>Placefirst<\/span><\/a> has had plans for the 6^{th<\/sup> and final phase of its Welsh Streets neighbourhood in Liverpool approved at planning committee.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n}

This comes shortly after The Welsh Streets was named as Housing Development of the Year at the Insider North West Residential Property Awards in January. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The development will deliver a terrace of 13 new homes, including a mix of three-bedroom family homes and apartments. Three of the properties will be designed to be fully wheelchair accessible and the scheme will also include a new community hub where Placefirst’s dedicated resident services manager will be based. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Designed by <\/span>MBED Architects<\/span><\/a>, Phase 6 will create a traditional terrace that has been carefully considered to be in-keeping with the existing street scene and character of the surrounding area, adding to the high-quality, energy efficient homes Placefirst has created to date. Other members of the team include Curtins (engineers) and WSP (on planning). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Placefirst worked closely with Liverpool City Council on the plans to bring the land situated between High Park Street, Wynnstay Street and Kelvin Grove forward. The new accessible community hub will<\/span> allow Placefirst to continue its focus on community engagement initiatives, with a strong on site presence.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With Phase 6, the Welsh Streets neighbourhood will total just under 300 single-family BTR homes, a mix of refurbished and new build. Placefirst has invested over £40m into the project to date, with residents contributing an annual £1.7m spend to the local economy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Construction on the final phase will commence later this year. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

James Litherland, head of planning at Placefirst commented: “We are delighted that Liverpool City Council has approved our plans to deliver 13 new homes for rent and a new community hub at The Welsh Streets. This represents a key milestone as it is the final phase of development at this neighbourhood, where we have worked with partners to transform the area into a popular and vibrant community”.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

"The Welsh Streets showcases what long term partnerships and build-to-rent investment can deliver in terms of regeneration and placemaking, and we look forward to starting construction work later this year”.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
