Peel Group - Wirral, Wirral Waters

Date: 05 Aug 2010

Planning permission for largest urban regeneration project in the UK of £4.5 billion.

Wirral Council Planning Committee has reached a positive decision to grant Planning Permission for Wirral Waters, the largest urban regeneration project in the UK.

This will represent an investment in Wirral of over £4.5 Billion and the promise of over 20,000 new jobs over 30 years.

The Committee meeting lasted around two hours, and culminated in a unanimous showing of hands giving Wirral Waters the green light.

Once Government Office Northwest give their seal of approval, the Peel Group will be able to forge ahead and embark on the marketing phase of the project.

Peel will be promoting the project on the international stage including the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.

Peel hope to start on site as soon as the recession allows. Lindsey Ashworth considers as a 'best guess' that this will be during 2012.
