Planning Submitted for £200m Regeneration of Huyton Town Centre

Genr8 Kajima Regeneration Ltd, in partnership with Knowsley Council, has submitted a £200m hybrid planning application to deliver a major regeneration of Huyton Village.

The phased application for St Michael’s Place follows a four-week public consultation held in spring this year which engaged hundreds of residents, businesses and stakeholders. The scheme aims to revitalise Huyton by creating a new town centre on the current seven-acre site centred. At the heart of the plans is a new village green surrounded by improved public realm and pedestrian links, designed to create a more welcoming and connected town centre.

Phase one will be anchored by a new 90,000 sq ft council HQ along with 72 flats, a 130-bed hotel, a 3.3-acre village green.

Later phases include a further 300+ homes and 150,000 sqft of commercial office space, all helping to increase footfall in the town centre.

Mike Smith, Director at GKRL, said: “The community’s feedback has been invaluable in helping us refine our proposals. This is a pivotal moment for Huyton, and we’re proud to be taking the next step in delivering a town centre that’s ambitious, inclusive, and future-ready.”

Knowsley Council Chief Executive, James Duncan, said: “Submitting this planning application is a significant milestone in our vision for Huyton Town Centre. This project will create jobs, attract investment, and deliver the kind of vibrant, sustainable community our residents deserve.”

A planning decision is expected early in the new year.
