COUNCIL APPROVES FIRST WAVE OF
URBAN SPLASH HOMES AT WIRRAL WATERS
Wirral Council planners have given the green light to Peel L&P
and House by Urban Splash, to build the first 30 modular homes
at Wirral Waters.
This is the first phase of a £55m deal to build 347 new homes under
the Peel L&P and Urban Splash 50/50 joint venture. This is the first
time Peel L&P and Urban Splash, two of the North West’s most
innovative developers, have worked together in this way.
Planning consent includes the customisable Town House from
House by Urban Splash, which will launch for sale next spring.
Planning has also been granted for the first Row House homes, the
newest product in the House by Urban Splash modular portfolio.
Row House has been designed by Liverpool-based architects
Shedkm and will be unveiled to the market in 2020.
House by Urban Splash is a new company, which creates innovative,
architect-designed homes using modern methods of construction.
It is owned by award winning property developer Urban Splash, in
partnership with Sekisui House, Japan’s largest housebuilder, and
Homes England.
Town House and Row House are just two of the House by Urban
Splash types which will be on offer as part of the planned 347
modular, factory-built homes for the East Float area of Wirral
Waters – the residential area House by Urban Splash is creating
with Peel L&P. All of the modular homes will be customisable
by purchasers before being manufactured offsite in the House by
Urban Splash modular factory and delivered to site.

Richard Mawdsley, director of development at Peel L&P, said: “East
Float will be a huge draw for those wanting to take advantage of the
very latest in modular housing design and I am delighted that the
first wave of this development has now been approved by Wirral
Council. It’s an exciting start for this area of the development,
which will be delivered in phases.
“This project will not only provide much-needed housing for
the area but it will transform the brownfield site into a highly
contemporary, internationally recognised waterside residential
quarter for families, individuals and couples alike.”
Jonathan Falkingham MBE, who co-founded Urban Splash in
Liverpool in 1993, added: “This new residential quarter is an
exciting transformation for Merseyside and we’re delighted to be
contributing to this emerging neighbourhood, bringing a wide
choice of modern, innovative new homes for people to live in.
“We look forward to launching Town House for sale and unveiling
the new Row House product – a typology that’s being delivered in
Merseyside before anywhere else. We’ll soon be commencing with
the development of these unique modular homes which will appeal
to and be attainable for a wide range of buyers across the region.”
