Background to Business Neighbourhoods • British Chambers of Commerce and British Property Federation – noted that neighbourhoods were presumed residential. • Amendment to Localism Bill enabling businesses to bring forward NPs and NDOs • Take a lead and have a vote – where an area is wholly or predominantly business in nature. • 8 Business Neighbourhoods frontrunners identified including; Milton Keynes, Trafford Park, LIP, Team Valley Trading Estate, Bankside, Southbank & Waterloo, New West End Company and Aldershot town centre.

  6. Liverpool Innovation Park Business Neighbourhood Area

  7. The Area • Entirely business populated • 60 businesses, 2,500 employees. • 800,000 sq ft commercial & business • 4 key zones - LIP reception & main building, Wavertree Tech Park, Littlewoods Site, Development sites • Edged by areas of social deprivation.

  8. LIPBNF The story so far… • May 2011 – put forward expression of interest to become frontrunner (LCC, Ashtenne, Chamber) • Localism Act (Nov 2011)and NP regulations came into force July 2012. • Stakeholder Engagement (Dec 12 – April 13) via Liverpool Chamber. • Assembled Shadow Forum and Constitution. • Area application submitted Aug 2013, approved Oct 2013 • Forum application submitted Feb 2014… • Community Engagement stage
