PUBLIC INFORMATION EVENTLIGHTBODY STREET Torus Developments is proposing to develop vacant land at 2-6 Lightbody Street (L5 9UZ) into a striking mixed-use residential and commercial scheme.

The design of the proposed development strives to reinterpret the site’s architectural history, using materials that are sympathetic to the industrial heritage of the area. At ground floor level, the aim is to create a positive dialogue with the adjacent canal and public green spaces.

We have set out plans for: • 16 townhouses (2 and 3-bed) and 197 apartments (1,2 and 3-bed): we anticipate all homes will be available

for affordable home ownership through the Rent to Buy scheme• Spaces for commercial use: located at ground floor level and within the disused railway arches to the rear of the

site, we expect these spaces to be occupied by digital/creative industries, alongside retail and cafés/restaurants

An application for planning permission is expected to be submitted to Liverpool City Council later this summer.

Event Information We are holding a Public Information Event on Tuesday 9th July to show our plans for the site. The event will take place at: the Eldonian Village Hall, Burlington Street, Liverpool L3 6LG. 3pm - 7pm.
