2.  The following site would be suitable for development for B1 and B2 uses of a nature which would enhance a gateway location near to the M62/M57 interchange:

3.  Developments within all the above sites must provide good quality buildings and landscaping.  Particularly high standards will apply to those sites which are within Knowsley Business Park or in “gateway” locations (such as sites E1 and E2 and on the A580).  Policy DQ3 (Gateway Sites and Corridors) applies in such cases.

 
 

Explanation EC2

6.23

Policy EC2 lists sites which are allocated for new development for employment uses in the period to 2016. The sites are almost all in the Strategic Employment Locations and are shown on the Proposals Map. The sites are in addition to those sites for which planning permission has already been granted (see appendix 5).  Many of the individual sites are freely available for development. Where any works are required, e.g. to remediate contamination, provide services or infrastructure, the Council is very active in using regeneration funding to enable the sites to be brought forward for development.  Compulsory Purchase Orders will be used where necessary to assemble sites and to facilitate access to these sites.

6.24

Development on sites E7, E14, E15 and E31 has the potential to be linked to the activities of the Knowsley rail freight terminal.  Development proposals on these sites should, wherever possible, take advantage of the rail terminal either through expansion of the terminal, links to the terminal or utilisation of the terminal’s services.
