Guiding Principles

Alongside the Vision Statement, a number of documents have been produced that set out the ‘Guiding Principles’ of the project. These show how Wirral Waters will deliver the Vision through 16 key themes. Each of the 16 Guiding Principles document can be read and understood in isolation. Further information relating to Wirral Waters can be found in the Vision Statement or other Guiding Principles documents and the other parts of the SRF.

Each Guiding Principles document is a picture in time and whilst they are intended to be timeless, as Wirral Waters is built, it will be shaped by them. Wirral Waters will also be shaped by and need to respond to external factors, such as economic conditions and climate change, so it is important that the Guiding Principles are maintained and reviewed as and when necessary. Each Guiding Principles document will be taken forward and delivered through individual masterplans and proposals brought forward within the Wirral Waters SRF area, and through partnership working between Peel Holdings, Wirral Council and other key stakeholders such as the Homes and Communities Agency, the North West Regional Development Agency, Merseytravel and a range of other local, regional and national groups.
