Paddington Village
This £1bn flagship expansion site sitting at the eastern gateway to the City Centre is part of the local authority’s vision to cement the city region as an international destination of significance for the life-science, healthcare and technology industries.
The site has been earmarked as 1.8m sq ft of science, technology, education and health space and is being developed in three phases: Paddington Central, Paddington South and Paddington North, with phase one already underway.
At 30 acres, Paddington is a sizeable urban village, inspired by the sense of community you’d find in the likes of Greenwich Village in New York.
Not only will it be a great place to live but a great place to work, discover and socialise, with state-of-the-art workspace, labs, cafés, restaurants, shops, accommodation, a hotel and teaching, examination and events space.
The Paddington Line Consultation
Initially known as the Lime Line, this initiative was launched by Mayor Anderson at MIPIM UK in London in 2017. Following this we completed an in-depth demand study, carried out with consultants WSP, which concluded that as the University’s Masterplans, new Health Campus and Paddington Village developments continue to progress there could be in excess of 1,000 extra trips per hour required during peak times.
The Paddington Line has been designed to provide ‘last mile’ connectivity, joining Knowledge Quarter Liverpool to the places people commute to and travel in from, but with the scope to work across the entire city region. Using a carbon neutral, rapid transit, trackless tram system, the Paddington Line would ultimately build on the success of the City Council, its Knowledge Quarter Mayoral Development Zone partners and the Metro Mayor’s City Region Combined Authority funding at Paddington Village.
In order to take the Paddington Line from proposal to reality, in partnership with the City and City Region, we are looking to gather feedback and obtain letters of support from key stakeholders, prior to meeting with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Transport Committee to further explore the potential delivery and funding options.
