Plans for 90 new waterside homes at Wirral Waters have been given the green light by Wirral Council, marking another major step forward in the long-term regeneration of the docks.
The new scheme will form phase two of Redbridge Quay within the Northbank neighbourhood and follows the completion of the award-winning Miller’s Quay last year. Once delivered, it will become the next residential development along Dock Road.
Phase two of Redbridge Quay will be delivered as a joint venture between Qualis Developments and Forshaw Group, bringing forward a mix of 84 one-bedroom and six three-bedroom apartments across six separate buildings.
The four-storey blocks will feature pitched roofs and have been designed to sit comfortably within the historic dockland setting. Sustainability is a key focus of the plans, with energy-efficient measures including solar panels, EV charging points and dedicated cycle parking for residents.
Future residents will also benefit from new local amenities nearby, including a 4,300 sq ft Sainsbury’s store planned for the corner of Dock Road and Duke Street.
Landscaping and public realm are central to the scheme, with two shared gardens, seating areas, 19 newly planted trees and two green spaces designed to connect the development directly to the waterside walkway. The aim is to create an accessible, community-focused environment that encourages outdoor living and social interaction.
Architecturally, the buildings have been designed to reflect the area’s industrial heritage, complementing neighbouring developments such as phase one of Redbridge Quay, Miller’s Quay and the regenerated Grade II listed former grain warehouses at East Float.
Qualis Developments brings experience in delivering high-quality homes across the North of England, including its recent ‘Great Central’ scheme in Sheffield, while Forshaw Group specialises in transforming underused land and buildings into modern residential communities.
Wirral Waters forms part of Peel Waters’ UK-wide portfolio of waterfront regeneration projects, focused on delivering sustainable new homes, jobs, economic growth and high-quality public spaces along the country’s historic docklands.
Richard Mawdsley, Director of Development at Wirral Waters, said:
“We’re excited to bring yet another residential development to Wirral Waters as the community along Northbank continues to grow.
“Phase two of Redbridge Quay will build on the momentum we have created at Millers Quay and the first phase of Redbridge Quay to create a sustainable neighbourhood which supports the creation of a strong and healthy community.
“We’re delighted to be working with Qualis Developments and Forshaw Group to bring these fantastic new apartments to the people of Wirral. They will be a great addition to the Northbank neighbourhood and to the wider Wirral Waters regeneration area.”
Richard Dean, Managing Director at Qualis Developments, commented:
“Securing planning approval for phase two of Redbridge Quay is an exciting milestone for everyone involved. Wirral Waters is a regeneration programme of real scale and ambition, and we are delighted that Qualis can play a role in its next chapter.
“Working closely with Forshaw Group and Peel Waters, our focus is on delivering well-designed, energy-efficient homes that contribute to a thriving and sustainable neighbourhood. We’re looking forward to getting on site and bringing these homes to life.”
Leader of Wirral Council, Cllr Paula Basnett, said:
“This is another significant milestone for Wirral Waters and a further vote of confidence in Wirral. By redeveloping brownfield land into high-quality, energy-efficient homes, we are not only delivering much-needed housing for local people but also creating vibrant communities.
“Developments like Redbridge Quay show the real progress we are making in building sustainable neighbourhoods, driving forward the regeneration at Wirral Waters, and helping to shape a vibrant waterside community for generations to come.”
