Save Upton Village

Save Upton Village A group of Upton residents passionate about keeping Upton Village a small community village with public open green space.

You may already know, that the grassed area near to the former Upton Fire Station is currently at risk of being developed. Wirral Council are in the process of selling the land to a supermarket chain. The grassed area would be converted into a car park to accommodate 96 car park spaces. This development would;

�Restrict direct access into Upton, for residents from the Woodchurch Estate

� Increas

e traffic in the local area and on the Arrowe Park Road roundabout.

� Increased traffic will bring increased pollution levels, further damaging the environment.

� We would be loosing more precious open green space to development. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

� We should not forget the detrimental impact another supermarket could have on our loyal village traders. Many of them supported our community during the national lockdown and helping some of our most vulnerable residents who could not go out.

� Increased traffic on a primary route for the emergency services will naturally impact their response times, potentially costing lives.

❗BREAKING // Wirral Council's Leader, Cllr Paul Stuart, has welcomed the decision by a planning inspector to back the authority's refusal of plans to build on part of the borough's Green Belt.

Hearings in the appeal against the council’s planning committee decisions to refuse seven applications by Leverhulme impacting Wirral’s Green Belt took place earlier this year.

The Inquiry opened on Tuesday 16 May and considered the appeals against the refusal of applications for a total of 788 new dwellings.

The decision published September 13 has now dismissed those appeals.

Welcoming the planning inspector's decision, Wirral Council Leader Cllr Paul Stuart said:

"It is great news the Planning Inspector rejected Leverhulme's appeals and preserved our Green Belt, supporting the regeneration of the borough with our Brown Field First Local Plan.

"From the beginning, our communities, elected members, and the Council has made it clear that safeguarding the Green Belt is of utmost importance, and all involved have dedicated considerable efforts to achieve this outcome.

"I extend my gratitude to everyone who campaigned against these planning applications and participated in the appeal hearings. A special thanks goes to our hardworking council officers who played a vital role in securing this result.

"Nonetheless, there is still much work ahead. The Local Plan examination hearings have resumed this week, and they will greatly contribute to our ongoing efforts in protecting the Green Belt, while also meeting the housing and regeneration needs and desires of our borough's residents."
