The proposed development of a new station on Merseyrail’s Northern line has moved a step closer with the award of planning consent for the £13m scheme.Sefton Council’s planning committee has approved plans for the new Maghull North station, which is earmarked for a site just off School Lane between the existing Maghull and Town Green stations on the Ormskirk branch of the line.The planned station forms a key piece of infrastructure in the Sefton Local Plan, supporting demand from an adjacent new housing development that will include 370 homes with more properties planned for the area in the near future. It is also expected to relieve pressure on the town’s existing station.
