Four Liverpool projects from architects Falconer Chester Hall approved in single meeting

Liverpool architecture firm Falconer Chester Hall (FCH) is celebrating this week after four schemes designed by its team were given the go-ahead in a single meeting.

With approval from Liverpool City Council’s planning committee in place, the four FCH-designed developments are set to pop up across the city in the coming months.

A new hotel on Seel Street, being built as part of the wider Wolstenholme Square overhaul by local developer Elliot Group, is among the approved projects along with a mixed-use commercial and residential development on West Derby Road.

Located on the site of a former petrol station, the land is currently in use as a car wash. FCH’s designs for the scheme include 39 apartments.

Elsewhere, a project on Duke Street was given the thumbs up by planners. The designs, created for Henry Space Developments, include new apartments across the basement, ground, first and second floors of 118-124 Duke Street – a row of Grade II-listed Georgian town houses – in addition to a new attic-level third floor.

The site will also feature a new build element housing a cinema room and residents’ gym.

Lastly, FCH has designed a new Renshaw Street building ranging between five and eight levels. The property, being delivered by Citylife Developments, will comprise 74 residential apartments and ground-floor commercial space.

Adam Hall, MD of Falconer Chester Hall, said: “Each of these projects presented a different set of challenges but we’re extremely pleased to have overcome these and obtained the necessary planning consents.

“It’s an indication of how busy we are as a practice that we were bringing forward four separate schemes to the one committee meeting.”
