"Project Jennifer" is the working title given to a project to improve the Great Homer Street area of North Liverpool.  The planned new £150 million district centre is seen as a flagship scheme that will create a new heart for the area.

St Modwen Developments Ltd were appointed as the Council's partner on the project in 2004.  Since that time they have worked up a masterplan for the scheme, consulted with local people and submitted a planning application.  The scheme received outline planning consent from the Council's Planning Committee in January 2007, and in the following May it was endorsed by the Department of Communities and Local Government.

The scheme includes:

  • a 115,000 square feet superstore,
  • 80,000 square feet of non-food retail stores
  • a market hall and 300 relocated outdoor market stalls;
  • 480 new homes;
  • facilities for a Primary Care Trust centre, a new library and leisure facilities;
  • 80,000 square feet of light industrial units
  • a public transport interchange.     

St Modwen will now begin talking to landowners and tenants affected by the scheme to acquire their interests with a view to starting construction on site in early 2009.

Regular meetings about the scheme are held with local community representatives under the banner of the Project Jennifer Community Forum.  Details of this and the scheme in general are available from the Development Team on 0151 233 2704 or email: colin.green@liverpool.gov.uk
