Frequently asked questions
Does this RE1 Public Recreation table apply to my property in Liverpool?
Only if this zone and this planning scheme apply to the land. Search your address — that is what names both.
Can I assume my project is one of the terms listed for RE1 Public Recreation?
No. The list uses the planning scheme’s official names. Whether your project counts as one of those names is a judgement call — that’s what a planner is for.
If a use is not listed in RE1 Public Recreation, is it prohibited in Liverpool?
Not by itself. Unlisted uses follow this zone’s fallback (“Prohibited”). That is different from being named on the list.
