•  Part of Croxteth Park.

All development within, or close to these areas should be carefully designed and sited so as to avoid harming the special character of these parks. Any planning applications for development which may affect the parks should be accompanied by a design statement to show how the development takes into account the features, views, layout and structure of the park and gardens. Materials used for the construction of any buildings, structures or enclosures must be carefully chosen to preserve the quality and character of the Historic Parks and Gardens.
