District & County Investments (DCI) fund £2.95m (net) bridging facility for development site in Liverpool

23 June 2026

District & County Investments (DCI), the agile and solution driven bridging and development finance lender, has funded a £2.95m (net) bridging facility for a developer regenerating a brownfield site in Liverpool.

The planning bridge was needed whilst Building Safety Regulation (BSR) requirements were being discharged ahead of an exit onto development finance. The development will deliver 150+ high quality apartments in Liverpool city centre.

DCI was approached on a tight timeframe and the transaction managed to complete in 14 days from credit approval.

The borrower is an award-winning local developer with strong, experienced sponsors who have a track record of exceptional delivery.

Michael Clifford, Commercial Director at District & County Investments, commented:

“We are seeing more and more developers face post planning delays, and our planning bridge finance can help them acquire or refinance a consented site while they progress the technical work needed for a development finance exit.

“In many cases, developers are being asked to commit more capital after planning permission has been granted but before a development finance facility is ready to drawdown. However, our experience and net lending model enabled us to make a straightforward lending decision and provide funding quickly.”
