Designating a Neighbourhood Area

St Helens Borough Council will determine applications for a neighbourhood area based on their individual merits. If necessary, the Council will seek to engage with qualifying bodies in the area to reach an agreement on how to proceed, and potentially resulting in the proposed neighbourhood area boundary changing. However, it is rare that multiple applications will be submitted for the same area at once and good engagement with the local community and other neighbouring groups can prevent multiple applications coming forward for the same area.
