Home Bargains looks set to be given the green light to open a flagship store and garden centre as part of the comprehensive regeneration of an 11-acre brownfield site in south Liverpool, despite objections from fellow retailers B&M and Asda.A hybrid application by TJ Morris, which owns the discount retailer, to redevelop the vacant former Rayware plot fronting Speke Boulevard in Speke is due to be considered by Liverpool City Council’s planning committee on Tuesday (14 March 2017).It is seeking the go-ahead to demolish the existing buildings on its site, secure full planning permission to create 6.2 acres of retail and leisure uses, and obtain outline consent for the creation of 4.9 acres of B-class employment uses.Councillors are advised to grant planning permission to Home Bargains.
