Davos Property Developments Limited in conjunction with Beetham Davos Ltd have submitted an application to Liverpool City Council seeking permission to demolish a collection of unlisted buildings around the northern boundary of the eight-acre city centre site.

Four blocks of buildings will all be demolished if permission is granted. A separate request to provide a construction compound to support work on the scheme’s first tower has also gone in.

A planning application was submitted in June for the 28-storey, 255-unit development and is expected to be ruled on this autumn.

Hugh Frost, chairman of Beetham said: “We are moving at pace and have every confidence in the quality of what we will deliver.  These applications keep us on track.”

Frost confirmed work remains on-going for the wider scheme’s masterplan, with ambitions for a major public consultation in due course.

Pegasus Group is providing planning, economics, heritage and EIA Services to the client team behind the King Edward scheme.  Brock Carmichael are the masterplan architects.
