The Site

The Birkenhead 2040 Framework sets out the strategy for the transformational regeneration of Birkenhead. At the heart of the Framework are proposals to create family-friendly neighbourhoods with beautiful, green public spaces and parks and to re-connect the revitalised town centre to its existing communities and make the most of the town’s iconic heritage and buildings.

Hind Street Urban Garden Village is one of the 9 new family friendly neighbourhoods identified by the Framework to have the greatest potential for development in the future due to its underutilised and vacant land assets, and the positive impact that the removal of the two flyovers that currently bisect the site will have in reconnecting this future community with Central Birkenhead.

The draft Wirral Local Plan 2021-2037 reinforces the importance of the Hind Street Urban Garden Village to the transformational regeneration of Birkenhead under Policy RA 5 Hind Street and St Werburgh’s Regeneration Area. Policy RA 5 designates the Hind Street Urban Garden Village Masterplan Area (MPA-RA5.1) as a new exemplar low carbon urban garden village.
