Parkside Regeneration

Parkside Regeneration is a joint venture between Langtree and St Helens Borough Council and was established to acquire the former Parkside colliery site located on the south-eastern edge of Newton-le-Willows, St Helens. It is bordered by the A49 to the west, the railway line to the north, the M6 to the east and Hermitage Brook to the south.

A planning application for Phase 1 of Parkside was approved by St Helens Borough Council in December 2019. In November 2021 the Secretary of State sought to uphold St Helen’s Borough Council’s initial consent and approve Parkside Regeneration’s planning application for Phase 1 of the Parkside Development.

Our proposals for Parkside passed detailed public scrutiny via the democratic planning process and then a government-mandated public inquiry and to secure our planning permission we had to demonstrate not just the planning case for the development, but also how we would go about delivering the project in a way that mitigates the impacts of developing the scheme.

Parkside Regeneration is now responsible for developing a deliverable scheme that will transform the disused colliery site into a new employment park. Enabling £80m per year of new economic activity to the City Region and creating up to 1,300 permanent new logistics and manufacturing jobs. This will meet the huge demand for employment space in St Helens driven by the growth at the port of Liverpool.

Parkside is in a great location to take advantage of the investment that is already being made to improve public transport infrastructure in the local area and work has now begun on a development strategy to secure the long-term future economic benefit of the site.
