Dear Supporters,

Please sign the petition to SAY NO TO INDUSTRIAL SCALE SOLAR FARMS ON WIRRAL’S PRECIOUS GREEN BELT

https://www.change.org/p/say-no-to-industrial-solar-farms-on-wirral-s-green-belt

Not content with trying to concrete over our precious Green Belt with housing, Developers are now eyeing up Wirral’s Green Belt to enable them to maximise their profits via Industrial Scale Solar Farms.

Whilst we support the use of solar power to help the UK achieve its net zero targets, we believe they should be constructed in the right places, i.e. on carparks, supermarkets, factories, municipal buildings, private family homes, etc. NOT on productive farmland, with important, supposedly protected landscape and ecological value.

We are calling on Wirral Borough Council to SAY NO TO INDUSTRIAL SOLAR FARMS ON WIRRAL'S  GREEN BELT and to use all their powers to direct solar panels / farms to be installed on Brownfield land, as required by Wirral’s Adopted Local Plan.

Currently, there is a proposed Solar Farm in the pipeline which would consume 70 acres of green belt land at Rose Cottage, Station Road, Thurstaston.

A EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) Screening application has already been submitted to the Council. It is likely that a full planning application will follow in due course. More information can be found on the Council's Planning Application

Further details can be found on the Council Planning Portal ref: SCR/25/01041
