Peel L&P looking to advance Haydock Point proposals

Peel L&P is to advance its proposals for a major employment park and infrastructure investment at Haydock Point.The company is looking to have its current application heard at a public inquiry, alongside other schemes, while also lining up a second submission for St Helens Council.Working with logistics developer PLP, it first submitted plans for the manufacturing and logistics development in 2017. Following feedback from highways authorities, an additional £10m plan for improvement works to Junction 23 of the M6 had been put forward.The application has not yet been determined by St Helens Council.Following the Secretary of State’s decision in May to call-in other logistics and distribution employment schemes in Wigan, Bolton and St Helens, Peel L&P wants to ensure that the decision on Haydock Point should be taken alongside the others.It will therefore appeal its Haydock Point plans on the grounds of non-determination and seek to have the appeal heard at the same conjoined inquiry.
