The planning application

There is now a live planning application for Frodsham Wind Farm. The application has been advertised in national newspapers for two consecutive weeks. It appeared in the London Gazette on 25 February and 4 March, and in The Times on 25 February.

There is a 28-day period during which you can give the Department of the Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the council your opinion about the scheme. Other statutory bodies such as Natural England, the Environment Agency, the Civil Aviation Authority and the Ministry of Defence will have the opportunity to formally comment.

The council, unlike other organisations, has four months to come to a view to present to the Secretary of State at DECC. The council’s stance on our scheme will be determined at a meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee.

* Please note that this timeline may be extended if a public inquiry is required.

To formally comment on the application, please write to both the Cheshire West and Chester Council, and DECC through the ways set out below and quoting the planning application number. Your views will be taken into consideration as part of the decision-making process. Peel Energy will receive copies of your comments from DECC in due course.
