Huyton Village is on the cusp of a major regeneration that promises to reshape its role in the Liverpool City Region’s visitor economy.
A proposed £50 million transformation will deliver new homes, hospitality, and public spaces designed to attract both residents and visitors.
Knowsley Council has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the ambitious scheme, which includes:
- A 130-bed hotel
- Around 420 new homes
- A new council headquarters
- A library and community hub
- A modern transport interchange with EV charging and cycle parking
The plans are part of a wider strategy to revitalise Huyton’s town centre, improve connectivity, and create a more vibrant destination for leisure, business, and culture.
Cllr Tony Brennan, Knowsley’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development, said:
“It is really positive news to see plans for the regeneration of Huyton Village moving forward and more detail being considered and added.
“This is potentially a transformative development for Knowsley and the City Region and something we know local residents are keen to get behind. The public consultation earlier in the year clearly showed an appetite for change and a shared will to breathe new life into the town centre.
“While any development will still need refining, relevant approvals granted and funding assembled it is really is great to see work pushing ahead and a new and vibrant vision for Huyton emerging.”
The proposed hotel is expected to support increased overnight stays and business tourism, while the new public realm and cultural facilities will enhance the town’s appeal as a day-visit destination.
Knowsley Council is working with Genr8 Kajima Regeneration Limited (GKRL) to deliver the scheme, with further public consultation and planning milestones expected in the coming months.
