Skelmersdale

The masterplan for Skelmersdale town centre was adopted by the Council on Wednesday 10 September 2008, following a three year period of preparation and consultation.

 

We had a tremendous response to the consultation and would like to thank everyone who has taken part in helping to shape the future of Skelmersdale town centre.

 

The masterplan is in the form of a supplementary planning document (SPD).  It sets out key development principles for the town centre, and provides guidance on the mix and scale of different land uses and how these should fit together to create an integrated, vibrant and successful town centre. The SPD will be a material consideration for the Borough Council when determining all planning applications in Skelmersdale town centre.

Kirkby public inquiry result update – good news for Skelmersdale

The Government’s decision (issued on 25 November 2009) to reject proposals for a massive retail and football stadium development in Kirkby is great news for Skelmersdale. The Council and its partners are committed to the regeneration of Skelmersdale and are confident that regeneration will go ahead as planned over the next 10 to 15 years.

 

We are now continuing positive discussions about the way forward, taking account of the current economic situation and all other relevant factors, and will keep local people informed.
