RopeWalks Supplementary Planning Document

Ropewalks

On 23rd December 2005, Liverpool City Council adopted the Ropewalks Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).  The SPD was produced with Liverpool Vision and Consultants Jones Lang LaSalle/BDP and expands upon the advice in the Ropewalks Phase II Action Plan. 

The SPD is supplementary to the Liverpool Unitary Development Plan (UDP) adopted in November 2002. It provides more detailed guidance for new development in the Ropewalks area of the City Centre. The document will be used with the UDP for making decisions on planning applications in the Ropewalks area.

The SPD will: 

  • Ensure that development proposals are brought forward in a coordinated way
  • Be used as an enhancement statement for the Duke Street Conservation Area
  • Be the Local Vision document for this part of the World Heritage Site
  • Provide greater clarity to applicants; architects and developers on the Council's position about the appropriate form, scale, use and design of new development in Ropewalks
  • Be used as a promotional tool, to attract new investment into the area
