Skelmersdale – building a town centre to be proud
of
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 District Council when determining all
planning applications in Skelmersdale town centre.
