The planning process
The Runcorn Spur Pipeline Proposed Development lies across two local authority boundaries: Halton Borough Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council. To gain consent to build the Runcorn Spur Pipeline Proposed Development, LBCCS will prepare planning applications to be submitted under the Town and County Planning Act 1990 (as amended) to Cheshire West and Chester Council and Halton Borough Council in summer 2025.
Planning stage
The Runcorn Spur Pipeline Proposed Development is currently in its pre-planning application phase. We carried out early engagement with stakeholders and the local community in 2024, through stakeholder briefings and a community information event.
We are now carrying out a public consultation, where we are providing more detailed information and asking for feedback through a survey. This feedback is important to us and will help inform our planning applications.
Post-submission stage
Once the applications have been submitted to Halton Borough Council and Cheshire West and Chester Council, you will have another opportunity to have your say directly to your relevant local authority.
