Strategic consultation submissions

We regularly make submissions to local authority consultations on Local Plans as well as other strategic policies and plans relevant to the countryside and rural communities.

It is vital that strategic level policies and plans both reflect community needs and protect the countryside and our rural landscapes, so we try to contribute to relevant consultations wherever possible.

We work with our colleagues at CPRE Lancashire, Liverpool City region and Greater Manchester on consultations that affect both our regions.

What is a Local Plan ‘call for sites’?

Help us fight for the countryside

The countryside is under threat as never before, and we need to step up our efforts to protect it.

With increased housing targets and weakened Green Belt protections, we are seeing a huge increase in applications to build on inappropriate green field sites. Putting together strong objections and running campaigns takes both time and a sound knowledge of planning legislation. This means we need money for professional input to supplement our volunteer team’s efforts.
