Albert Dock, Liverpool (Hansard, 13 July 1993)

§ Mr. Kilfoyle
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what income has accrued to the Merseyside development corporation from the Albert Dock Company.

§ Mr. Baldry
In the period covering 1987–88 to 1992–93 a total income of £2,022,659 has accrued to the development corporation from the Albert Dock Company in respect of rents, service charges and sales of flats.

§ Mr. Kilfoyle
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what planning permission was sought by the Merseyside development corporation to alter the facade, roofline and approach to the Atlantic pavilion at the Albert dock.

§ Mr. Baldry
MDC did not seek planning permission itself to carry out recent alterations to the facade, roofline and approach to Atlantic pavilion at the Albert dock, since urban development corporations are themselves the planning authorities within their designated areas. Agents acting on behalf of the developers, Linenhall Properties Ltd., sought and received planning permission from MDC.

§ Mr. Kilfoyle
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what contracts the Merseyside development corporation entered into with the Arrowcroft Company.

§ Mr. Baldry
The development corporation entered into only one contract—building agreement—with the Arrowcroft Company in September 1983.
This contract was for the phased conversion and refurbishment of the majority of Albert dock, giving rise to a total of 11 leases.
