It also asks for the Planning Inspectorate to be told that these factors, as well as the views of local residents, to been given more weight in their decisions to counter-balance recent decisions which have given more weight to regional, national and European renewable energy targets.
Graham, who has been campaigning against plans for a massive wind farm on Frodsham Marshes, commented: “I’m delighted to be part of this campaign. Not only is onshore wind production inefficient and intermittent, it also increases the price of energy bills to every home and business in my constituency.
“I am keen to see the amount of money available in subsidy for onshore wind reduced and this saving spread across other renewable energy types and also spent on local energy efficiency measures.
“It is also important that the new planning regime the Government is introducing ensures that local residents’ views are taken fully into account and that the system recognises the importance of the beautiful countryside and heritage assets we have.”
