The Options Paper is an early vision of the Local Plan, one of
the most important planning documents for West
Lancashire.
Using our evidence base, and in consultation with local
people and other interested parties, we identified the
most important planning-related issues in the area, and set out a
vision for the borough. In spring 2009, we prepared an Options
paper setting out five separate options for future development
within West Lancashire. Each option proposed how we might
address the issues and achieve the Vision. It also looked at key
issues such as:
- Providing new housing and new jobs
- Meeting the needs of an aging population
- Regenerating Skelmersdale
- Providing for the gypsy/traveller community
- The future needs of Edge Hill University
