A development that is set to deliver affordable housing and promotes sustainability, while revitalising the Wirral through a dynamic waterfront community that supports long-term regeneration.
Mixed Use Regeneration - The North, England
Peel’s Wirral Waters aims to transform the derelict docklands estate into a sustainable location for local and international businesses, creating 1,000’s of permanent jobs for the Liverpool City Region, as well as offering new and affordable housing opportunities for the local community. It promotes sustainability creating a vibrant, modern water front community delivering long term regeneration across the Wirral. The masterplan has already seen the delivery of 500 apartments on the Millers Quay site, along with the first phase of a plan to provide a further 350 homes on the Northbank East and West sites.
Revitalising 300 acres of former dockland, Wirral Waters is a neighbourhood led Peel Water’s project; each neighbourhood having its own individuality. Peel’s plan is to deliver the project in phases, with early projects clustering in the Four Bridges, Northbank and MEA Park neighbourhood areas, creating a mixed-use, high-density, highly sustainable environment that will elevate and regenerate this area of Wirral to the benefit of its community. Peel Waters has a UK wide portfolio of vibrant and innovative, waterfront developments; each site is developed to regenerate its unique waterside setting, ensuring that the area is once again a thriving, community-led, world class destination.
Curtins has been working on Wirral Waters project for approximately 15 years and have been assisting Peel and their team through this period with the site-wide masterplanning and development appraisals, using our experience as Civil, Structural and Geo-Environmental engineers, and in particular, our knowledge of the site and historic docklands, to provide reliable and robust advice regarding potential site constraints, buried infrastructures and below-ground conditions for example, to inform viability studies and to aid planning and design development.
The Wirral Waters site spans 300 acres of former dockland, which presents significant engineering and environmental challenges. These include:
Buried infrastructure from historic dock operations
Potential of unstable below-ground conditions
Curtins, with 15 years of involvement in the project, has provided:
Civil, Structural, and Geo-Environmental expertise to assess and mitigate risks
Masterplanning support to guide phased development across diverse neighbourhoods
Viability studies and planning input based on deep knowledge of the site’s historic and physical constraints
This proactive, data-driven approach ensures that Peel Waters can confidently move forward with sustainable, high-density regeneration that benefits both the local community and broader Liverpool City Region.
