Skelmersdale Town Centre

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.

Skelmersdale Masterplan

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 council when determining all planning applications in Skelmersdale town centre.
