Wirral Council is still planning to move ahead
The government body which would need to approve clearing Hoylake beach does not support plans being moved forward.
A Wirral Council report published ahead of a key meeting on April 15 said “no beach management will be implemented without Natural England’s assent" but officers are still recommending councillors approve moving forward with Option 2 or "amenity beach" which would see three hectares of vegetation cleared.
Out of the two options put forward, the RSPB said it supported the first option due to the requirements of the RNLI to clear some of the beach but remained concerned this has not been properly developed, adding: “We should be celebrating situations such as this where new priority habitats are forming and developing naturally, helping in some small degree to offset ongoing losses elsewhere.” It said clearing vegetation could also lead to more sand being blown into Hoylake.
The local authority said it does not expect Natural England to give permission for this amount of vegetation removal to go ahead but may decide to do so anyway. The council report said: “There are precedents where Natural England have not given assent in full but where the applicant has still undertaken the work as they were of the opinion it needed to be undertaken because of overriding reasons relating to public interest.
