History

The area of Sandymoor was designated as part of Runcorn New Town in 1964 and was initially allocated to heavy industry for ICI in the new town masterplan of 1967. [4] However, the masterplan was amended in 1975 as Runcorn Development Corporation judged the amount of land available at Windmill Hill and Murdishaw would be insufficient for the town's growing population by 1979. [5] Sandymoor was redesignated as residential land, capable of accommodating about 7,500–8,000 people. The masterplan amendment envisaged the eventual creation of a "socially integrated community with local centre and shops, primary schools and other facilities such as churches, public house, toddlers' play spaces, adventure play areas, a range of social and recreational facilities and services." [5]

In 1988, approval was given under the New Towns Act 1981 for the development of a gross area of 147 hectares (360 acres). Phase 1 began in the late 1980s and early 1990s with the development of 890 homes. [6] Sandymoor Parish Council was created in 2008. [3]
