4 IM MARSH CAMPUS LJMU, AIGBURTH VISION DOCUMENT
Liverpool John Moores University’s (LJMU’s) campus at IM Marsh presents a unique regeneration opportunity. It should be redeveloped for high quality housing. This will respond to a critical need in South Liverpool. Housing use will enable the beneficial use of the listed building and redevelopment of the remainder of the site provides an opportunity to deliver high quality apartment development alongside large family housing, including 4 and 5 bedroom properties with gardens.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The IM Marsh Campus comprises various university buildings, that range in age and quality, and three sports pitches.
The buildings on the Site will be surplus to academic requirements, following the planned transfer of faculties to the Copperas Hill site in the City Centre. The buildings are relatively low quality both visually and physically, apart from two historic buildings. The previously developed land on the Site represents c.50% of the total Site area. The remaining Site area comprises sports pitches which LJMU are currently developing a strategy to relocate near to the City Centre Campus.
These planned improvements are part of LJMU’s wider vision to deliver a walkable campus within Liverpool City Centre.
Accordingly, the Site provides an excellent opportunity to deliver a high-quality residential development, including the conversion of two historic buildings, close to Liverpool City Centre and within the predominantly residential area of Aigburth.
Aigburth is a sustainable neighbourhood with a good range of local amenities and public transport opportunities. Aigburth Train Station is located within a 7-minute walking distance from the Site and provides regular connections to Liverpool City Centre.
This Vision Document has been prepared on behalf of LJMU by Barton Willmore to demonstrate how the residential redevelopment of the Site could make a positive contribution towards the attractiveness of Aigburth as a place to live, whilst also boosting and securing housing delivery in response to local and wider needs.
The Illustrative Masterplan and supporting design principles included within this document demonstrate our emerging design rationale for the Site. This has been informed by our initial assessment of the Site and its surroundings to demonstrate the ability of the Site to accommodate approximately 200-250 new homes, alongside, improved pedestrian and cycle links and public open space.

Site Location and Surroundings The Site, which is located just 5km south-east of Liverpool City Centre, provides an unparallel regeneration Site, within the residential neighbourhood of Aigberth.
The Site is bound by residential development to the south, east and west.
To the north lies community allotments, publicly accessible sports pitches, and Sudley House Museum and Art Gallery. Mossley Hill Conservation Area also lies to the north of the Site. The relationship between the Site and the Conservation Area will be considered through this document.
For a more detailed understanding of the Site’s location and its sustainability, please refer to the Sustainable Location section within this document.
Site DescriptionThe Site is broadly triangular. It extends to c.7.6ha and some 50% of the Site is developed land.
The Site includes several university buildings built between 1950-1990. These provide limited townscape quality and provide a desirable opportunity for redevelopment. The Site also includes two historic buildings, built during the late 20th Century, that provide an opportunity for residential conversion.
Details of each building is shown on the plan opposite.
The Site also includes three outdoor sports pitches which will be relocated to the City Centre Campus. These include football pitches, a multi-use games area and three tennis courts/netball courts.
The Site has been subject to earthworks to enable the provision of levelled sports pitches. This has resulted in the creation of three levelled tiers within the Site which could be re-profiled or retained as part of the Site’s redevelopment.
Defining most of the Site boundary is a c.1.5m historic stone wall, which whilst not listed (nationally or locally) is a defining characteristic within the nearby residential streets.
Site AssessmentWhilst, the Site is not subject to any significant constraints that would prevent its redevelopment for residential use, the following considerations will inform the future development of the Site and they underpin the Illustrative Masterplan (Figure 4):
• Vehicle access can be provided from existing points of access on Barkhill Road, Mossley Hill Road and Holmefield Road. If desirable, an additional point of vehicle access can potentially be provided from Barkhill Road.
• Pedestrian access can be provided from the proposed vehicle access points and from a point close to the Barkhill Road/ Mossley Hill Road junction.
• Existing mature trees on the Site should be retained and integrated into an accessible network of high-quality public realm and open space.
• Holmefield House is a Grade II Listed building that could be converted for future residential use.
• Barkhill Building is an early 20th Century building of some quality that could be converted for future residential use.
• Ecology on the Site are limited to existing mature vegetation which should be retained as part of the proposed redevelopment.
• Utilities within the vicinity of the Site are easily accessible.
• Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS) will be required as part of the proposed development and the Site is not located within an area of flood risk potential.
• Ground levels provide a suitable platform for residential development.
• Stone boundary wall surrounding the Site should be retained.
• Mossley Hill Conservation Area lies to the north of the Site and the future development of the Site will carefully consider the relationship with this historic asset.

UNIQUE DESIGN OPPORTUNITY
This masterplan promotes a very high quality design led approach to the future regeneration of the I.M. Marsh Campus. This approach responds to the future needs of LJMU, of Aigburth and of the City. It responds to the requirements of the development market but also to the planning policy and housing policy requirements, to heritage considerations and to the needs of the area.
Considering the location of the Site and the density of existing residential development, an average density of 30-35 dwellings per net hectare has initially been applied. This provides the potential to deliver between 200-250 dwellings.
The proposed density allows for the creation of a sustainable and balanced residential development, comprising a mix of housing types, sizes and tenures.
1 Vehicle access to the Site is proposed via existing access points on Barkhill Road, Mossley Hill Road and Holmefield Road.
2 A potential point of vehicle access has also been shown on Barkhill Road.
3 Vehicle movement around the Site will utilise the existing road infrastructure, beyond which is a hierarchy of shared streets and private driveways.
4 Barkhill Building is proposed to be retained and converted into high-quality apartments.
5 Holmefield House (Grade II Listed) will be sensitively converted for residential use.
6 Higher density residential development is provided on previously development land to the north of the Site.
7 Lower density residential development is provided on sports pitches and adjacent to the Holmefield House.
8 A series of focal point spaces are dispersed within the Illustrative Masterplan. These spaces are designed to be distinctive and legible, assisting navigation from one area of the development to another.
9 Use of best practice design principles, will provide outward facing housing frontages which securely enclose rear garden spaces and achieve natural surveillance of streets and public green space.
10 Areas of public open space will be provided throughout the Site, accommodating retained and enhanced landscape features, pedestrian and cycles links and children’s play.
11 The Site has the potential to accommodate a SuDS network, including street swales and attenuation ponds.
12 A linear area of public open space has been provided along the
eastern edge of the Site. This space will accommodate existing
landscape features, and a new pedestrian and cycle route. Moreover,
it will help address level changes with the surrounding residential
streets and enhance the setting of Holmefield House.
13 The future development of the Site will carefully consider the
relationship between proposed development and the adjoining
Conservation Area. This will include further consideration on scale,
massing and materiality.

14 IM MARSH CAMPUS LJMU, AIGBURTH VISION DOCUMENT
This Vision Document demonstrates that the IM Marsh Campus is soon to be a surplus asset that provides a unique opportunity for alternative development which supports the strategic priorities of the City and the wider City Region. It would provide much needed residential development, contributing towards a recognised local housing need, whilst also helping facilitate LJMU’s wider vision to deliver a walkable city centre university campus.
Our analysis of the Site has demonstrated that development can respond and enhance the existing context and make a positive contribution to the local community. A series of overarching development principles, which should guide the future development of the University’s surplus assets, have been set out to underpin this vision document, namely:
• Sense of Place – the expansion of a successful residential suburb that adds to its unique character and is welcoming, inclusive, neighbourly, interesting and attractive and which properly caters for the functions which it will accommodate into the future;
• Character – an area that recognises the Site’s existing identity and richness of character and creates a place that is distinctive – responding in particular to its heritage assets, parks and proximity to shops and services in Aigburth.
• Public Realm – an exceptional public realm, transforming the immediate settings of the Listed Building and the character of this part of south Liverpool;
• Connectivity – the extension of an established and successful neighbourhood that will open up and enhance existing routes; and
• Sustainability – a site wide strategy that address all aspects of sustainability, achieving the right balance between social, environmental and economic objectives.
The Illustrative Masterplan included within this document has been informed by our initial assessment of the Site, based on Site visits, an understanding of highway access and overview of the existing built form and landscape.
We look forward to further discussing the development opportunity with Liverpool City Council as part of the Local Plan process.

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is committed to the City of Liverpool and the wider City Region. As part of LJMU’s commitment to deliver excellence in education, the University are implementing an estate strategy which will create a major new campus at Copperas Hill, linked to our existing accommodation in the City at Mount Pleasant and Byrom Street.
This Vison Document has been prepared by Barton Willmore, on behalf of Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), to set out the development opportunity that is presented by F.L Calder. The Site is a vacant under utilised area of land that could respond to the critical need for new high quality and executive housing in South Liverpool.
The F.L Calder Site is a vacant greenfield site within an existing urban area. It has no historic recreational use or recent agricultural use.
The proposed development of the Site supports LJMU’s wider vision to deliver a walkable campus within Liverpool City Centre.
The Site is sustainable located, close to Liverpool City Centre and within the predominantly residential area of Allerton.
Allerton is a sustainable neighbourhood with a good range of local amenities and public transport opportunities. Allerton Train Station is located within a 20-minute walking distance from the Site and provides regular connections to Liverpool City Centre.
This Vision Document has been prepared to inform the Site’s promotion as part of the current consultation on the Liverpool Local Plan. It demonstrates how the residential redevelopment of the Site could make a positive contribution towards the attractiveness of Allerton as a place to live, whilst also boosting and securing housing delivery in response to local and wider needs.
The Illustrative Masterplan and supporting design principles included within this document demonstrates our emerging design rationale for the Site. This has been informed by our initial assessment of the Site and its surrounds to demonstrate the ability of the Site to accommodate between 100-130 new homes, alongside, improved pedestrian and cycle links and public open space.

Site Location and Surroundings The Site, which is located c.5km to the south of Liverpool City Centre, provides an available site for residential development within the neighbourhood of Allerton.
The Site is bound on three sides by existing housing that ranges in size and age. Housing to the west of the Site is separated by an existing pedestrian and cycle route, which whilst not a designated Public Right of Way (PRoW), provides off-road connections in a southward direction to Allerton Golf Course, Menlove Avenue (which includes existing bus stops and connects with Walton Local Centre) and Allerton Road.
To the north of the Site is Calderstones Park, a 38ha area of public parkland accommodating pedestrian and cycle routes, public open space and an ornamental lake.
To the south-west of the Site is a further vacant greenfield site, not within the ownership of LJMU, beyond which is Maryton Grange Monastery.
The Site benefits from frontage on to Yew Tree Road and Dowesfield Lane, which provide opportunities for vehicle access to the Site. Yew Tree Road provides westward connections to West Allerton Train Station (c.1500m from the Site) and eastwards connections to Menlove Avenue which connects with Walton Local Centre (c.1200m from the Site).
For a more detailed understanding of the Site’s location and its sustainability, please refer to the Sustainable Location section within this document.
Site DescriptionThe Site is a rectilinear greenfield site that extends to c.3.53ha. It comprises vacant greenfield land located within an existing urban area. The Site, which is characterised by infrequently managed grassland, does not provide any formal recreational uses and is mostly used by people walking dogs. In addition, the Site occasionally functions as an overspill car park, when events are held locally.
Each of the four Site boundaries are defined by mature trees and the northern, eastern and western boundary is also defined by a dwarf stone wall. Whilst not listed (locally or nationally), the wall is a defining characteristic within the surrounding residential streets.
Existing housing directly overlooks the Site from the west and experiences views of vacant grassland, heavily filtered by mature trees.
Site AssessmentThe Site is not subject to any significant constraints that would prevent its redevelopment for residential use, but the following considerations will inform the future development of the Site and they underpin the Illustrative Masterplan (Figure 4):
• Vehicle Access can be provided from Dowsefield Lane and Yewtree Road.
• Pedestrian access can be provided from the proposed vehicle access points, from an additional point along Dowsefield Lane, from the woodland located beyond the southern boundary and potentially from the pedestrian and cycle route running along the western edge of the Site.
• Mature Woodland to the south of the Site is within the ownership of LJMU. The proposed development of the Site provides the opportunity to deliver environmental enhancements and improved pedestrian and cycle connections through this woodland.
• Existing mature trees defining the boundaries of the Site should be retained.
• Ecology on the Site is limited to existing mature vegetation which should be retained as part of the proposed redevelopment.
• Utilities within the vicinity of the Site are easily accessible.
• Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS) will be required across the Site and the Site is not located within an area of flood risk potential.
• Stone boundary walls located around three edges of the Site should be retained, where possible.

This Vision Document has demonstrated how the future redevelopment of the Site would provide much needed residential development, contributing towards a recognised local housing need, whilst also helping facilitate LJMUs wider vision to deliver a walkable city centre university campus.
Our analysis of the Site has demonstrated that development can respond and enhance the existing context and make a positive contribution to the local community. The Site has several economic, social and environmental benefits which can be enhanced as part of a residential development project. The benefits include:
• Development to the Site will generate direct jobs during the construction phase, as well as bringing economically active people into Liverpool;
• New residents will increase expenditure locally and bring additional skills and economic activity, contributing to the local area;
• The proposed development will directly secure financial benefits to Liverpool City Council in the form of new homes bonus;
• The Site will deliver market and affordable homes of a type and tenure to meet local housing needs;
• The Site is well integrated with the existing surroundings and will provide new links to the existing network of footpaths and cycle ways; and
• Public transport facilities are located within walking distance of the Site providing access to Liverpool City Centre and further afield.
The Illustrative Masterplan included within this document has been informed by our initial assessment of the Site, based on Site visits, an understanding of highway access and overview of the existing built form and landscape.
We look forward to further discussing the development opportunity with Liverpool City Council as part of the Local Plan process.
