Respondent: Professor Rick Battarbee

Conditions:
• Conduct a detailed ecological survey to identify the impact of house building on the foraging opportunities for 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-east;
• Protect Coppy beck by creating a wide riparian buffer strip along the entire length of the western boundary;
• Enhance field boundaries by filling in gaps in the hedges and creating wide marginal buffer strips along hedge bottoms to improve wildlife habitat and connectivity;
• Ensure that surface water from this site is managed using SuDs to protect Coppy Beck to the west and Town Beck to the north.

On behalf of Addingham Environment Group
No further development to the east of this field should be allowed to maintain the broad green connection between the village and the Moorside
