Overview

Intermodal Logistics Park North (ILP North) will better connect the North West to the UK’s coastal ports and global markets, facilitating a modal shift in freight transportation from road to rail, reducing the number of lorries on roads and supporting the Government’s commitment to Net Zero.

Key Benefits

Better connecting the North West to global markets:

ILP North will deliver a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI) that better connects the North West to global markets. Strategically located between Liverpool and Manchester the site benefits from access to the UK’s West Coast Main Line (north-south) and Liverpool-Manchester Transpennine (east-west) rail infrastructure. These rail links provide access to the UK’s coastal ports, facilitating a shift from road to rail freight transport to move goods in and out of the North West.      

An allocated site that will help to deliver Liverpool City Region's Freeport:

ILP North is an integral part of Liverpool City Region’s Freeport, a special economic zone created by the Government to boost investment. The proposal site includes land allocated for development as an SRFI in the St Helens Local Plan referred to as Parkside East. Tritax’s proposals will realise the local, regional and national ambition for the site.  

Delivering investment and unlocking thousands of jobs:

ILP North represents a multi-million-pound investment that will create thousands of job opportunities for local people, including apprenticeships and training opportunities, driving growth and investment in skills for the region’s young people. The project’s construction would also support thousands of further jobs through the local supply chain.  

Providing economic and environmental freight solutions:

ILP North is a development strategically designed to promote the switch of freight from road to rail. This commitment aligns with national policy, as set out in its Rail Freight Growth Target and the National Networks National Policy Statement (NNNPS) for Strategic Rail Freight Interchanges to reduce traffic congestion and deliver environmental and economic benefits.
