If development is allowed it will be important to:

• Protect the integrity of the medieval hollow lane and hedgerow along the northern boundary by blocking vehicular access from Southfield Lane and leaving a wide wildlife buffer strip along the southern boundary line;
• Protect the small beck running down the eastern edge of the site by creating a riparian buffer zone along the entire length of the boundary;
• Conduct a detailed ecological survey to identify the impact of house building on the wader populations associated with the S. Pennine Moor SPA to the south and the hunting range of the local barn owl population in the field to the north.
• Ensure that surface water from this site especially is managed using SuDS and not allowed to enter drains that ultimately join Town Beck on Main St.
