Parr Street Studios, 33-45 Parr Street, L1 4JN

Unique Property Ref No: 38116079

Nominated by: Friends of Parr Street

Decision date: 14/8/2020

Reason for not listing the asset

Whilst the council noted the submissions in relation to the history of the building and the social significance of its current and recent uses, on the basis of the information submitted by the applicants, owners and occupiers and otherwise available to the council it noted the following:

  • the gradual reduction in the number of recording studios in the building
  • the absence of culturally significant recent recordings at the studios
  • the availability of other recording studios in Liverpool area
  • the availability of other bars in the immediate area 
  • the absence of a community centred upon the building compared with, for example, a village pub
  • that the large majority of the offices available for rent are currently empty and have been for the recent past.

On this basis, the council considered that the current and recent non-ancillary use of the buildings for the nominated uses as music studios, bars and offices does not, and did not in the recent past, further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community. The council was therefore obliged to reject the application for listing.

Olive Mount Hospital Site, Old Mill Lane, Wavertree, L15 8LW

Nominated by: The Liverpool Dream Community

Decision made: 13/7/2026

Reason for not listing the asset

  • The site is not currently being used for a community purpose
    The Council found that the site is vacant and derelict. There was no evidence that it is currently being used in a way that benefits the local community.
  • The application relied on future plans rather than current use
    The nomination focused on proposals to restore the building and create community facilities in the future. However, the ACV legislation requires evidence of actual community use, not intended future use.
  • There was no evidence of a qualifying recent community use
    Although the site was formerly a hospital, the nomination did not provide evidence that it had a qualifying community use in the recent past for the purposes of the legislation.
  • There was no evidence that a qualifying use could resume within five years
    The Council was not satisfied that a former qualifying community use could realistically return within the next five years. The proposal related to a new future use rather than the continuation or resumption of a previous qualifying use.
  • The statutory tests were not met
    As neither the current-use test nor the recent-past-use test was satisfied, the Council determined that the site could not be listed as an Asset of Community Value.
