Local Plan Review 2012-2050

(withdrawn)

In 2016, we started work on a review of the West Lancashire Local Plan 2012-27.  This 'Local Plan Review' was intended to cover the period to 2050.  However, in September 2019, the Council's Cabinet made the decision to cease work on the Local Plan Review (LPR) and this Plan has been withdrawn / abandoned.
