The Littlewoods Project
The Littlewoods Project remains in a critical transition phase as stakeholders work to finalise a funding package required to bridge a viability gap and commence the main construction of the film and TV campus. While planning permission was granted in October 2024 and initial enabling and remediation works are complete, the project requires further financial support to proceed. Liverpool City Council and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority are actively engaging with UK government ministers, with recent reports from mid-2026 indicating positive ministerial interest in the scheme's potential to bolster the regional creative economy.
Current phaseFunding stage
Anfield Project
The Anfield Project continues to navigate a complex planning landscape, particularly regarding the permanent closure of Anfield Road to vehicular traffic. In July 2026, Liverpool City Council's planning committee voted that it is minded to refuse the application for permanent closure, citing concerns from local residents and ward councillors regarding community access and traffic management, despite recommendations for approval from planning officers. This decision remains subject to a final determination at a future committee meeting. Meanwhile, the multi-phase Walton Breck Road infrastructure and public realm improvement programme is progressing, with the third and final phase now underway and scheduled for completion in spring 2027.
Current phasePlanning stage
Baltic Triangle
The Baltic Triangle continues its transition into a high-density, mixed-use urban neighbourhood, balancing its established creative identity with significant residential intensification. While the proposed £100 million Baltic rail station remains a cornerstone of the district's long-term transport strategy, its delivery timeline has been extended, with officials now looking toward 2029 for completion. Developer activity remains robust, with recent progress on major residential-led schemes, including the former Norton scrap metal site, reinforcing the area's ongoing transformation.
