Regeneration areas along the Liverpool and Birkenhead waterfronts, and around Merseyrail stations, are a focus for higher-density homes. The coast from Southport to the Wirral includes internationally protected dunes and estuary habitats, so coastal schemes often need habitats assessment and recreation mitigation.
