Liverpool Local Plan published: STR planning context
The city's new planning framework sets the policy baseline for future short-term rental controls. Here's what Liverpool operators need to know about the local plan, the pending C5 use class, and Article 4 Directions.
Liverpool City Council published its new Local Plan on 29 July 2026, laying out the city’s planning framework for housing supply, site allocations, and development policies through the next plan period (Planning Resource, 4 August 2026). For short-term-rental operators, the plan matters because it sets the planning policy groundwork that any future Article 4 Direction on STRs would need to align with.
