This mapping tool shows potential site allocations to meet the borough's housing, mixed-use and employment needs over the lifetime period of the emerging Local Plan for Wirral.
To help you find a particular site or to view the area around where you live, you can type your address, postcode or an individual site reference number into the search bar above the map and navigate directly to sites.
Clicking on an individual site will bring up the details associated with it and, for housing and employment sites, will display a link to the 'Potential Allocations' consultation on the council's online consultation portal.
We recommend using Google Chrome web browser to view the site information.
