The planning process
The Padeswood Spur Pipeline Proposed Development is currently in its pre-planning application phase. We carried out early engagement with stakeholders and the local community throughout 2024, including briefings, meetings, and a community information event.
Project stage
Our statutory Pre-Application Consultation ended on Tuesday 29 April 2025. The feedback received during this time will be used to help finalise our planning application.
What happens next
The Padeswood Spur Pipeline lies within the Local Authority boundary of Flintshire County Council. To gain consent to build the proposed development, Liverpool Bay CCS Limited (the Applicant) will prepare a planning application to be submitted under the Town and County Planning Act 1990 (as amended) to Flintshire County Council in summer 2025.
Post-submission stage
Once the application has been submitted to Flintshire County Council, you will have another opportunity to have your say by providing comments on the application, which you can submit directly to the Council.
