Liverpool Regeneration & Investment Briefing

Funding, places and delivery. A briefing for the organisations bringing forward homes and regeneration across Liverpool, from the docklands to Speke and Norris Green.

Dates and decisions to watch

Figures in this briefing cover different programmes, geographies and periods. They should not be added into a single city investment total.

The funding landscape

Up to £46 billion over ten years

Homes England and its subsidiary, the National Housing Bank, have up to £46 billion to deploy across England to 2036. These are the principal streams. [1]

The joint Investment Prospectus, published on 31 March 2026 ahead of the Bank's opening on 1 April, brings grant, land and finance into one framework. The Bank aims to attract more than £50 billion of additional private capital over the decade. [1]

*The prospectus describes the agency's share as £3.1bn, subject to final confirmation. These are programme envelopes, not a ring-fenced allocation to Liverpool. [1]

Programme milestones

Grant, land and finance (products and routes)

Which support fits a scheme depends less on its size than on what is holding it up: a funding gap, a difficult site, or the tenure of the homes to be delivered. [1]

Two grant routes in the Liverpool City Region. Land, remediation and infrastructure support is normally expected to come first through the Combined Authority, which has held the integrated settlement since 1 April 2026 and carries housing and strategic planning as one of its six themes. Social and Affordable Homes Programme grant remains administered by Homes England, with the Combined Authority setting published strategic priorities rather than administering the money. The National Housing Bank makes its own finance decisions while working alongside the agency. [1,3]

Regional routes: Liverpool City Region

Regional routes: see regions/liverpool-city-region.md for the Combined Authority, the integrated settlement, the Brownfield Land Fund, the LCR Housing Pipeline and Housing Investment Fund, the Spatial Development Strategy, the Liverpool North Docks Mayoral Development Corporation, the SAHP first-wave regional estimate (MHCLG's published £380m / c.3,100 homes) and regional skills and procurement.

For a Liverpool scheme, the four local routes are these.

Nearly 31,000 of the 64,044 homes in the LCR Housing Pipeline published in January 2026 sit in Liverpool — close to half the regional pipeline in one of six boroughs. If a site is not on that pipeline, getting it onto it is usually the first practical step. [5]

Who decides what (decisions and public contacts)

1. Homes England / National Housing Bank — Final SAHP funding and contractual decisions; the Bank assesses its finance investments; Homes England is also a direct funder at Central Docks and a co-producer of the North Docks masterplan. [1,6]
2. Liverpool City Region Combined Authority — Regional priorities and tenure mix, Brownfield Land Fund, Housing Investment Fund, the LCR Housing Pipeline, the Spatial Development Strategy and the proposed North Docks Mayoral Development Corporation. [5]
3. Liverpool City Council — Local housing need, planning and the Local Plan, council land, the Pumpfields and Limekilns SPD, accountable body for Pride in Place and for the Central Docks grant. [4,6,7]
4. Liverpool North Docks MDC (proposed) — If established, would take major development proposals in the North Docks area as local planning authority. A formal proposal was due at the Combined Authority on 25 September 2026. [8]
5. Neighbourhood boards — Four Pride in Place boards (Everton East, Fairfield West & Newsham Park, Norris Green East, Speke East) shape local ten-year plans; council accountability and national programme rules still apply. [9]
6. Scheme owner and delivery team — The RP, council, master developer or JV assembles the scheme. At Liverpool Waters that is Peel Waters; at Festival Gardens the Urban Splash / igloo joint venture. Establish the actual commissioning organisation before approaching anyone.

A useful first enquiry names the site, landowner, proposed use, delivery lead, funding gap and next decision.

Accessing programme grant: a route for smaller providers

• Continuous Market Engagement — Open for individual schemes and portfolios while funding remains available. Designed to accommodate smaller partners, new entrants and complex projects. [19]
• Strategic partnerships — Programme-level allocations. Separate guidance applies; the first wave was confirmed on 25 August 2026. [2,20]

Before a grant application

Organisations need Homes England Investment Partner qualification to receive grant. [18] The Liverpool City Region asks Homes England to prioritise at least 60% Social Rent, Modern Methods of Construction, the Future Homes Standard, and homes for older people and wheelchair users; North and Central Liverpool are two of the region's 13 named priority places. [10] Liverpool's own emerging Local Plan seeks 20% affordable housing, half of it social rent. [7]

Places and programmes (the four largest live housing-led programmes)

Liverpool's pipeline is concentrated in a small number of very large, long-horizon programmes, all of them brownfield and all of them named in the new Local Plan. Nearly 31,000 of the 64,044 homes in the Combined Authority's January 2026 LCR Housing Pipeline are in Liverpool. [5,7]

1 · Liverpool Waters, Central Docks — up to 2,350 homes, infrastructure on site

The largest of the five Liverpool Waters neighbourhoods, a 26-acre site (10 hectares of infilled former dock in the subsidy papers) on the northern waterfront held by Peel Waters under the wider Liverpool Waters outline permission. Outline consent covers up to 2,350 homes plus commercial, leisure and retail — confirmed on Peel Waters' own portfolio page and in the CMA subsidy referral, across affordable, build-to-rent, build-to-sell and older people's tenures. [15,37,42]

What this means for a supplier or delivery partner: the civils are let. The residential plots come to market in phases from 2027–28 onward, and the counterparty on each is Peel Waters or its plot partner, not the council.

2 · Pumpfields & Limekilns, with Ten Streets — around 7,000 homes

The biggest housing number in the city. A residential-led masterplan on brownfield land on the northern edge of the city centre. The council reports the area as around 75 acres in its own announcement, and press coverage of the adopted document describes about 100 acres; treat the precise area as not verified. Either way it is one of the largest single-authority brownfield regeneration areas in the North West. [16,17]

Ten Streets is the adjoining creative and industrial quarter north of the city centre. It is being folded into the North Docks / Pumpfields strategic masterplan rather than run as a separate housing programme, and is named as one of the Local Plan's five regeneration focus areas. Its own housing number is not separately published. [7,8]

3 · Festival Gardens — up to 800 homes, remediated and partnered

The council's own flagship site on the south Liverpool riverside: an 89-acre former International Garden Festival site of which a 27-acre development zone is being brought forward for housing, with a 37-acre park alongside. Remediation was completed by VINCI in summer 2023 at a cost of about £53m, with more than 95% of excavated material recycled. This is a serviced, de-risked site in council ownership. [12]

Cabinet was asked to approve the development agreement in September 2025. Whether that agreement has since been executed is not verified against a published decision record. [12]

4 · The council's own housing delivery — small sites and empty homes

Alongside the three master-planned programmes, the council is running a deliberately small-scale, fast-turnaround programme on its own land and stock. Cabinet considered both strands on 24 February 2026. [19]

This is the strand most accessible to smaller contractors and to RPs without a city-centre land position: plot sizes are small, the landowner is the council, and the tenure is affordable by design.

Other live programmes

Anfield. The long-running £260m Anfield and Everton regeneration partnership between Liverpool City Council, Liverpool FC and Your Housing Group reports around 600 new homes and 600 refurbished homes delivered to date, with a new school, shops and the stadium expansion. The current live item is Anfield Square, a 2.5-acre council-owned site off Walton Breck Road immediately west of the stadium, cleared of around 150 terraced houses in 2016. The council acquired Your Housing Group's remaining land interests — 18 leasehold and freehold titles — for £381,000 so it can market the site with clean title, after failing to agree a business case with YHG and declining a hotel proposal from the football club. [20]

Anfield Square is not a housing site, and that is why no homes number exists. The council's Anfield Spatial Regeneration Framework identifies it as a development opportunity for a mix of uses, and the council's published intention is a "best-in-class development comprising a mix of leisure, entertainment, and employment uses", with the long-term vision described as leisure and entertainment including food and beverage relevant to both community and stadium needs, plus short-term "meanwhile" activation. JLL, LDA Design and SPACED were appointed in January 2023 to write the development brief, with JLL running soft market testing and public engagement and a development partner to be selected later through a disposal process. Treat Anfield Square as a commercial and leisure disposal, not a residential pipeline site; the £260m programme totals and the £381,000 land acquisition still rest on sector press rather than a committee report. [20,39,40]

Pride in Place: four neighbourhoods, four boards

Liverpool has four Pride in Place neighbourhoods, each with up to £20m over ten years and a resident-led Neighbourhood Board that decides how the money is spent. The council is the accountable body and provides secretariat support. [9,21,22]

The council's own Pride in Place pages do not name any chair: they set out only that "each board is led by an independent chair, appointed by Liverpool City Council in partnership with the local MP for the area", and that the Chair then leads the recruitment of the Board. The two chairs named above (Speke East, Norris Green East) were announced through Liverpool Express rather than the council's Pride in Place section. [9,21,22]

The timetable that matters

Until plans are approved, there is no open project call: money in 2026 is capacity and delivery set-up funding, not project funding. The published phase 2 profile is £150,000 of early revenue funding per neighbourhood in 2025/26 to establish the board, then in 2026/27 £135,000 revenue and £117,604 capital per area, with a second revenue payment of £138,462 on approval of the Chair, board membership and any boundary change. [24] A reported £450,000 of capacity funding to Liverpool in January 2026 comes from press coverage, does not match the per-neighbourhood profile above, and is not verified against a council report.

Bring a project that can be delivered

• Need, ownership and consent — Who benefits, land control, delivery lead, consents and dependencies.
• Capital and continuing costs — Works, contingency, asset owner, operating budget and maintenance.

National guidance requires boards of at least eight members with at least 51% living or working locally, and sets out what a plan must contain. [24,25]

General enquiries: PrideInPlace@liverpool.gov.uk, with the neighbourhood name in the subject line. [9]

Local investment and project calls: different pots, different decisions

There is no single published Liverpool "funding portal". The practical routes are the Combined Authority for land and infrastructure, Homes England for tenure grant, and the council's regeneration and housing teams for council-owned sites.

Homes, partners and local need

Liverpool's Housing Strategy 2025–2030 and its High Level Delivery Plan were published on 20 January 2025. They replace the previous strategy and were consulted on through 2024. [29]

The council has described the position as a housing emergency in its strategy framing. [29,30] Note that the strategy's 2,000-a-year commitment and the Local Plan's 1,974-a-year requirement are close but not identical; they come from different documents and should not be combined.

These are examples of local activity, not a complete provider list or evidence of a new SAHP award.

Delivery and the supply chain

Finding the actual route to work

Liverpool City Council publishes all tender opportunities of £25,000 and over on the Proactis ProContract portal (https://procontract.due-north.com), selecting "Liverpool City Council" from the organisation list. The North West's The Chest appears within ProContract as a portal, and the council's register of awarded contracts is reached the same way. Above-threshold notices also go to Find a Tender. [33,34]

The council publishes a Sustainable Procurement Strategy and applies social value in evaluation; specific weightings are set contract by contract. [33]

On the large programmes the counterparty is often not the council: at Central Docks it is Peel Waters and GRAHAM; at Festival Gardens it will be the Urban Splash / igloo joint venture and its sub-developers; in Pumpfields it is the individual site promoters. A funding announcement does not itself create an open invitation to tender.

Skills and delivery capacity

The City of Liverpool College is the main construction provider. Its Construction Academy at Liverpool Waters, on Regent Road, opened to its first cohort with capacity for around 250 students, working alongside the college's Vauxhall Road centre. The academy sits on the regeneration site it trains people for, with practical workshops and four purpose-built modular classrooms. [35]

Construction provision also runs from the college's Vauxhall Road and Duke Street sites: brickwork, plastering, joinery, building services, electrical and gas installation, plus apprenticeships. [36]

Regionally, the North-West Construction Technical Excellence College — one of ten in England, £100m nationally, a target of 40,000 skilled workers by 2029 — is hosted by Wigan & Leigh College and covers Liverpool City Region through its hub structure. The Combined Authority's Construction Skills Service, Skills Bootcamps and Careers Hub are the regional recruitment and upskilling routes. See the regions page.

Public contacts

A useful first enquiry names the site, landowner, proposed use, delivery lead, funding gap and next decision.

Open / not verified

• Festival Gardens: whether the development agreement with the Urban Splash / igloo JV has been executed. The council report seeking approval dates from September 2025; no later decision record was retrieved.
• Everton East and Fairfield West & Newsham Park Pride in Place chairs. Adverts were posted 12 April 2026 (Everton East) and 18 March 2026, closing 7 April 2026 (Fairfield West & Newsham Park); both vacancies have closed and no appointment announcement has been published. Searched again on 19 September 2026 across liverpool.gov.uk/council/pride-in-place (about, neighbourhood boards, plans and timescales — all fetched, none names a chair), jobs.liverpool.gov.uk, Jobs Go Public, LG Jobs and Liverpool Express. [23,41]
• How Liverpool will distribute its £1.5m Pride in Place Impact Fund. No target wards, committee report or project call published.
• Pumpfields area: the council's own release says about 75 acres, press coverage of the adopted SPD says about 100 acres.
• Anfield Square: resolved that it is a leisure/entertainment/employment disposal rather than a housing site (see Verification pass 2). The £260m programme totals and the £381,000 land acquisition still come from sector press, not a committee report. [20,39,40]
• Liverpool's share of the Liverpool City Region's £52.5m UKSPF allocation, and whether a successor programme exists for 2026/27.
• Liverpool's own share of the region's first-wave SAHP figure. MHCLG's release of 24 August 2026 publishes £380m / c.3,100 homes as a Liverpool City Region regional estimate — a regional estimate, not a borough award — but does not break this down to Liverpool itself; see the regions page. [43]
• Current housing register and temporary accommodation numbers. Nothing recent published on the council site; the 2024 strategy figures are the most recent found.
• Riverside's 48-home Liverpool completion: trade press only, no scheme name or date confirmed. [32]
• Local Plan affordable housing policy wording (20%, half social rent) is press-reported; the policy text was not retrieved.
• Ten Streets has no separately published housing number; it is being absorbed into the North Docks / Pumpfields strategic masterplan.

Verification 19 Sep 2026

• SAHP national figure corrected. The release states only "33 partners will receive grant funding ... outside of London" and gives no grant or homes total; the partner table sums to £9,584.1m and 73,617 homes. The previously recorded "£9.996bn of grant to 33 strategic partners, 84,197 homes" was wrong and has been replaced in the programme milestones table. [2]
• Pride in Place deadlines corrected and hardened. "Ten-year plans due winter 2026 to early 2027" and "first substantive delivery payments spring 2027" were both too loose and, on the plan date, wrong. The MHCLG delivery guidance puts Liverpool's four neighbourhoods in the cohort of 160 phase 2 boards that "submit their Pride in Place Plans to MHCLG for assessment and approval by 30 November 2026"; boundary changes were due 17 July 2026 (previously carried as "17 July 2026 reported" — now primary); and on approval £1.36m is released in financial year 2027/28, not "spring 2027". Corrected in the dates table, the Pride in Place timetable and the local funds table. [24]
• Pride in Place funding profile added from the same guidance: phase 2 splits 63% capital / 37% revenue; £150,000 early revenue in 2025/26; £135,000 revenue plus £117,604 capital in 2026/27; £138,462 second revenue payment on approval of Chair, board membership and boundary. The press-reported £450,000 January 2026 capacity figure does not match this profile and stays marked not verified. [24]
• Neighbourhood names re-confirmed against the primary list. MHCLG's phase 2 place-selection note reads "Liverpool | 4 | Speke East; Everton East; Norris Green East; Fairfield West & Newsham Park" — exactly as carried here.
• Impact Fund re-confirmed against the determinations themselves: Liverpool at £750,000 in Annex A of the 2025–26 determination (signed 29 September 2025) and £750,000 in the 2026–27 determination (signed 8 April 2026), £1.5m in total. [13,14]
• Procurement citation upgraded. The ProContract claim is now cited to the council page that actually carries it (/business/procurement-and-contracts/tender-opportunities/, HTTP 200), which names the "Proactis ProContract procurement portal" and the "Select Liverpool City Council from the organisation list" step. This brief was already correct that Liverpool uses ProContract rather than the Chest portal — the regional page's "all six councils use The Chest" line was the one that needed correcting. [33]
• Everton East and Fairfield West & Newsham Park chairs remain not verified; a further search on 19 September 2026 found the Everton East advert of 12 April 2026 but no appointment announcement.

Verification pass 2, 19 Sep 2026

• Central Docks grant figure made exact and upgraded to primary. "£55.2m Homes England Brownfield Infrastructure and Land grant" is now £55.28m, taken from the CMA's subsidy-control referral of 27 November 2024 (final report 14 January 2025). The referral also names the actual recipients — Liverpool Waters Finance Limited and Peel L&P Developments Limited — the funding window (November 2024 to March 2027), the eligible works, and confirms the 2,350 homes on 10 hectares. [37]
• Liverpool Waters 2,350 homes cross-checked against the developer. Peel Waters' own portfolio page carries the "up to 2,350 homes" figure for Central Docks as the largest of the five Liverpool Waters neighbourhoods, across affordable, build-to-rent, build-to-sell and older people's tenures. Previously cited only to the Liverpool Waters news release. [42]
• Festival Gardens numbers cross-checked against the developer. Urban Splash's own announcement of 9 September 2025 carries the same 440 phase-one homes, 80 extra care, 110 affordable, up to 800 across three phases, 34 house types, planning late 2026 and build from spring 2027. The sub-developer list is refined: TOWN works with Starship on co-housing and MMC, and the Urban Splash Residential Fund is named alongside Urban Splash and igloo. [38]
• Anfield Square resolved. The reason no homes number is published is that it is not a residential site: the Anfield Spatial Regeneration Framework identifies it as a mixed-use opportunity and the council's stated intention is "a mix of leisure, entertainment, and employment uses", with food and beverage serving both the community and the stadium, plus meanwhile activation. JLL, LDA Design and SPACED were appointed in January 2023 to prepare the development brief; a development partner is to be selected through a later disposal process. Previously carried as an open "no homes number published" item. [39,40]
• Fairfield West & Newsham Park chair advert located and cited, posted 18 March 2026 and closed 7 April 2026, giving this neighbourhood the same evidential standing as Everton East. Both chairs remain not verified: the council's three Pride in Place pages were all fetched on 19 September 2026 and none names a chair for any of the four neighbourhoods. [9,41]
• Re-confirmed unchanged: the four neighbourhood names against MHCLG's phase 2 list; the Impact Fund at £750,000 in each determination; the 30 November 2026 plan deadline; Speke East (Rev Philip Saltmarsh) and Norris Green East (Ann-Marie Ferrigan) chairs.
• Still open after a further search on 19 September 2026: execution of the Festival Gardens development agreement (searched the council's news service, Urban Splash, igloo and trade press — the September 2025 report seeking Cabinet approval remains the last published step); the £1.5m Impact Fund distribution within Liverpool; the Pumpfields 75 vs 100 acres discrepancy; Liverpool's share of the £52.5m LCR UKSPF allocation; current housing register and temporary accommodation numbers; Riverside's 48-home completion; the Local Plan affordable policy wording.
• SAHP first-wave regional estimate resolved. MHCLG's release of 24 August 2026, "Historic council housebuilding comeback to help families into secure homes," publishes a regional funding breakdown giving Liverpool City Region an estimated £380m and around 3,100 homes. This is MHCLG's own published regional estimate, not press or council-sourced, and the "not verified" marking on it is removed; it remains a regional estimate, not a Liverpool award, and is not broken down to Liverpool itself.
