Well, it was in the last CAWOS Bird News under conservation news!
It is the Hoylake Langfields/Carrs which they want to develop. Apparently plan is to build two large golf courses and a resort centre which will include hotels and sports complex, this will also take in the current municipal golf course. In response to this threat the Langfields have been declared a Site of Biological Interest which doesn't give it a great deal of protection but does affect the planning process. Also, if it can be shown that birds which use the fields, in particular roosting/feeding waders, come from the Dee estuary and North Wirral SPAs - and that therefore the loss of these fields effect the status of the birds on the SPAs, then this could be a good argument against any development (maybe!). SPAs (Special Protection Areas) are highly protected under European law. Also, of course, the land is green belt so they shouldn't be building any hotels and sports centres on it.
It was, of course, Donald Trump who was trying to railroad through a huge golf complex near Aberdeen on a beautiful coast full of wildlife. Apparently that was rejected by local councilors recently so he might now be turning his beady eye and wealth to Hoylake.
