Liverpool’s historic Joseph Heap rice warehouse has been saved from demolition following a decision by the City Council to incorporate it into a major residential scheme.
Owners, One Park Lane, initially wanted to demolish the derelict building but English Heritage awarded Grade II-listed status after a campaign was mounted by Merseyside Civic Society.
Met Geo Environmental provided measured building and topographical survey data on The Joseph Heap rice warehouse to inform development plans. Now it is to be included in £130m plan for 800 homes and 12,000 sq ft of leisure and retail space around a new public space provisionally called Baltic Square.
