Mersey Reach - Environmental and Transport Planning
The former home of Peerless and Lunt Edible Oils and soap manufacturing works from the 1920s had been identified as a strategic employment site in the Sefton Local Plan. Industrial property developer Chancerygate set out to achieve planning permission to transform the site. They reached out to our team to provide full environmental and transport planning services.
We developed a transport assessment and travel plan for the scheme, which met the approval of Highways England and the local highway authority, Sefton Council. Traffic movements in the area are complex, the site being off a main thoroughfare through to the Liverpool city centre to the west and the M57/M58 interchange to the east. We reviewed the accessibility of the site by sustainable modes, conducted trip generation analysis during peak times and junction capacity assessments, and developed site access arrangements and parking provision.
Our land quality team undertook a ground investigation to inform the remediation strategy for the site, given its industrial heritage. We also conducted an environmental noise survey and air quality study as part of the planning submission and our assessments met the requirements of Sefton Council.
Chancerygate went on to secure successful planning for the site, now Mersey Reach. The scheme consists of three units totalling over 7,000 square metres (75,347 square feet) available on a leasehold basis, as well as a 2-acre (0.8-hectare) plot at the front of the site sold to Euro Garages for a Starbucks drive-thru and a petrol filling station. A further 4.5 acres (1.8 hectares) are also available as part of the development.
