Please fill out our Walkers’ Survey
If you enjoy walking in Calderdale or Bronte Country, please help our campaign by filling out a Walkers’ Survey. We’re gathering information about what attracts people to go walking in this area, and whether the proposed wind farm will put people off.
There are two versions - the first one you can type in directly; the second one can be printed out and filled in by hand. Please send completed forms to the email address on the form.
Sign a Petition against Calderdale Wind Farm on Change.Org
Planning regulations mean that Calderdale Wind Farm Ltd (CWF) have to demonstrate that the proposed wind farm has the support of the local community.
This petition initiated by a Haworth resident is intended to show CWF that the local community does not support the wind farm.
Any resident who lives within 20 miles of Hebden Bridge is eligible sign the petition, which is available on the Change.Org website.
Object to Calderdale Council
Calderdale Council will be handling the planning application for the wind farm and are responsible for deciding the outcome. The wind farm can’t be approved without community support so it’s vital to OBJECT NOW to stop it going ahead. Send a letter by post and ask the Council to keep it on file. Full details are on the objection letter template above. You can print this out or write your own version. Object again later when the planning application appears. Calderdale Council have to record all objections. Every single objection counts.
Download our campaign leaflet
Our campaign leaflet contains key information about the wind farm and summarises the main objections. Please circulate this as widely as possible by email, whatsapp and social media. Pass it on to your family, friends, neighbours and colleagues. Print it out and display it in your window or distribute it in your area. Many local people are still unaware of the wind farm or don’t understand its implications, so it’s vital to spread the word. This is a Hostile Act against the countryside, wildlife and people of Calderdale and Brontë Country.

Track the Planning Application
Visit Calderdale Council’s Planning Portal and search on Walshaw Moor to access information about the Calderdale Wind Farm proposal and track the application. Read public objection letters and consultee responses to the developer’s Scoping Report. Download Calderdale Council’s Scoping Response to find out what the developers must include in the Environmental Impact Assessment in their Planning Application.
Lobby your Parish or Town Council
Some Parish Councils, such as Wadsworth, have responded to the developer’s Scoping Report but many others weren’t consulted, including Hebden Royd Town Council, Todmorden Town Council, Oxenhope Village Council and Haworth Parish Council. We believe that every Parish Council in Calderdale and the neighbouring Boroughs ought to be consulted about this important issue. Calderdale Council have agreed to continue accepting submissions so please lobby your Parish Council or Town Council to respond as soon as possible.
