Wirral Waters will be considered by Wirral Council for planning permission on 3rd August 2010.

On 14th December 2009 an Outline Planning Application was submitted for the redevelopment of East Float. East Float forms the heart of the Wirral Waters regeneration project, launched by Peel Holdings in 2006.

The planning application proposes up to 13,521 new homes, together with new offices, shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, hot food takeaways, hotel and conference facilities, culture, education, leisure and community.

The application will establish a series of five different quarters within East Float each with its own character and approach to design. These quarters are SkyCity, Northbank West, Four Bridges, Marina View and Vittoria Studios.

Once constructed, it is estimated that the East Float development will deliver over 20,000 new jobs and be home to up to 30,000 new residents.
