2026 Sefton Council Call for Sites

Overview

Sefton Council are currently undertaking a 'Call for Sites' process to allow sites to be promoted for development. The Call for Sites will be used to inform a new Local Plan for Sefton and sites submitted may be considered for development in the new Local Plan.

Sites can be promoted through the call for sites for a range of uses, and anyone is able to submit a site for consideration, regardless of whether they own it or not. However, in order to allocate land for development, we will need to be sure the land owner(s) are supportive. 

It should not be assumed that sites allocated for development in the current Sefton Local Plan (April 2017) that have yet to be developed, will be automatically carried over to the next Local Plan. Undeveloped sites from the current Local Plan should be submitted in this call for sites so that we can consider if they remain suitable for development. 

Privacy Statement

We are asking for contact details so that we can get in touch if we need further information and to clarify any details of site submissions. 

Your personal data will only be used as part of the Council’s statutory planning duties. Site submissions will be published and made available for others to see and copy although we will not publish any personal names, addresses or contact details. Information that we collect will be retained no longer than 6 years.

For more information on how we deal with personal data please see www.sefton.gov.uk/PlanningGDPR

At the end of the survey you will be asked if you want to give an email address so that you can receive a copy of your response. You do not have to do this. The email address is only used to send the email to you from Your Sefton Your Say. The email address will not be stored with the responses and Sefton Council will not have access it, unless you have given your email address as part of the survey.

Why your views matter

We are just starting out on Sefton's new Local Plan and this is an opportunity to promote land and premises for future development in the Local Plan.
