UK housing redevelopment approvals

Entities: Liverpool City Council · MyPad · Blackstone Cross site · Teignbridge Council · Matt Talbot Court

Overview

Late July 2026 saw a series of planning approvals across England. Liverpool City Council moved ahead with the Rose Lane project in Mossley Hill, authorising the demolition of the 1927‑era building at 70‑72 Rose Lane and the construction of a new commercial unit plus nine apartments (Roseville Place), despite local concerns over noise, heritage loss and reduced privacy. In Nottinghamshire, Ashfield District Council granted formal approval to MyPad’s outline scheme for 104 affordable homes on Mill Lane, Huthwaite, after the developer addressed objections by making modest site adjustments and providing required financial contributions.

The approval momentum continued into early August. In Devon, Ipplepen Parish Council raised objections to the Blackstone Cross proposal, which seeks up to 120 new homes—including 36 affordable units—citing inadequate road access, flood risk and pressure on local services. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s cabinet approved the marketing of the 55‑acre Stonebridge Cross site on the East Lancashire Road as an employment‑led mixed‑use development. The plan targets around 220 homes alongside substantial industrial, logistics and manufacturing space, with a 70 % employment and 30 % residential split, aiming to create jobs and deliver broader regeneration benefits for Croxteth and surrounding neighborhoods.
