Bramley-Moore Dock: New five-storey hotel with pool opposite Everton stadium gets green light

On Tuesday (October 22), Liverpool Council’s planning committee approved plans for the construction of a new five-storey hotel on land at Regent Road, Blackstone Street and Fulton Street overlooking the new ‘world-class’ stadium.

The surrounding area consists of historic warehouses and newer industrial buildings, with the proposed site containing a Grade II listed former mill and warehouse at 15-17 Fulton Street.

While it has been vacant for a number of years, the warehouse was constructed around 1850 and, according to Historic England, “it is an important survival of a mid-19th century warehouse associated with the trade of the international port of Liverpool at the peak of its prosperity and success, and represents the expansion of the dock system northwards from the city centre.”

According to the planning documents put forward by applicant, there will be a total of 32 bedrooms within the conversion of the listed building and 48 bedrooms within a new build element.

The hotel will also feature a spa, pool and treatment rooms - located in the basement - with the ground floor housing a Regent Bar, Fulton Bar and restaurant. Seven car parking spaces will be provided for hotel guests and the hotel entrance will be in the centre of the Blackstone Street frontage.

Dylan Jones, an agent on behalf of FGH, said the proximity to Bramley-Moore was the “driving catalyst” for the project and there was a bonus of bringing a listed building back into use. Councillors were given a site visit before the meeting and granting unanimous planning permission.
