Rainforest planned for north west
A £75m Eden Project-style Amazonian rainforest scheme is being planned for the north of England, with Blackpool, Liverpool and Manchester all being considered as locations.
Rainforest Ventures – a consortium led by investment consultant John Woodman and including internationally renowned architect Daniel Libeskind – is behind the ambitious project.
The brief for the 12,000sq m (130,000sq ft) indoor rainforest also includes a hotel and a visitor centre.
If the project goes ahead, it could be open by 2010.
