Work to provide 60 new homes on West Derby’s former Holly Lodge Girls’ College site is due to get underway before Easter.

Having secured planning permission, developer Redrow Homes will build 51 brand new houses and refurbish nine properties within Grade II-listed buildings on the site off Mill Lane.

With sympathetic conversions in the pipeline for the Sandheys and Fremont buildings, and the new-build homes forming part of Redrow’s Georgian-influenced Regent Collection, it’s anticipated the first sales will take place in early 2017.

The development is part of the Liverpool Housing Partnership – a long-term strategic relationship between Redrow, Liverpool City Council and Liverpool Mutual Homes to deliver more homes in the city – and will also retain a historic pond on the site as a feature.

Faye Whiteoak, development director for Redrow, says: “We’re delighted our plans were approved and look forward to redeveloping the site in a sympathetic manner with high quality housing that will be a welcome addition to the city’s housing stock.”

Cabinet member for housing, Councillor Frank Hont, adds: “This is an innovative scheme, with the sale of the land for these much-needed new homes helping fund the fantastic new Holly Lodge Girls’ College.

“I am pleased the partnership has been able to retain and improve the listed buildings on the site to protect them for future generations.”

The project is the third Redrow scheme to be approved as part of the Liverpool Housing Partnership.

Developments in Woolton and Fazakerley are expected to launch in 2016.
