The masterplan seeks to provide long-term benefits to both the local area and the wider city region, through the delivery of around 3,000 new homes. The masterplan is being prepared in line with site allocation 4HA and Policy LPA11 included in St Helens Local Plan, and guided by Garden Village principles, with a focus upon high-quality design and landscape delivery. Beyond creating new housing opportunities, it will include the delivery of community infrastructure that will benefit both new residents and existing residents living nearby.
From Monday 14th April 2025 until Friday 2nd May 2025 communities and stakeholders in and around St Helens are encouraged to share their views on the work undertaken so far on the masterplan.
